Abstract

It is hardly possible to give clear and unambiguous recommendations on the choice and building of design models for structures of various purpose which require different structural solutions to be applied. One can do it, apparently, only by confining oneself to a much narrower class of objects. One should remember that “any set of rules for building models can have, at the best, only a limitedfield of application, and at the worst it may even hamper the manifestation of one’s intuition” [13].

Apparently, one has achieved perfection when one can subtract nothing, rather than when one cannot add anything.
