Free Classes From a MacArthur Winner
Friday October 10, 2008
A $500,000 MacArthur grant sure would be handy right now, but they didn't pick me this year. Still, it's nice to know that I can study at the feet of winner John Ochsendorf.
Ochsendorf is a structural engineer and architectural historian who finds modern uses for ancient technologies like hand-woven fiber suspension bridges in the Inca Empire. He's also an associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and some of his courses are available for free download:
- Analysis of Historic Structures
- Basic Structural Theory
- Building Structural Systems I
- Building Structural Systems II
