| A. | false |
| B. | true |
| Answer» B. true | |
| Explanation: the degree to which each discipline actually leads the design depends heavily on the type of structure. many structures are structurally simple and led by architecture, such as multi-storey office buildings and housing, while other structures, such as tensile structures, shells and gridshells are heavily dependent on their form for their strength, and the engineer may have a more significant influence on the form, and hence much of the aesthetic, than the architect. | |
