Structure is the main and unique tool of creating form and space in architecture, because of this feature, it is the most basic tool to form material environment for human. Structure is dependent on systematic order influenced by natural science rules. Therefore, among constituent elements of architecture design, structure is considered as an absolute norm. Also an architect should know about structural systems, as it affects aesthetic side of design. Structure in its relation with architecture form, takes different status in terms of being in purview. Structure can be hidden completely by the form of construction, also it can be the construction’s form, i.e. the architecture, itself. Structure gives identity to designer’s creative purpose in unifying form, materials and powers. Therefore, structure presents a tool based on aesthetics and creativity for any kind of construction. Lack of attention to structure instruction itself can cause fading out of architect’s role. During designing and construction, if architect cannot use his/her structural knowledge interacting with structural engineer optimally, he/she wouldn’t be able to adjust space’s concept with structural developments and most of activities would go to engineers domain, especially in structure and construction fields, which itself would result in undesirable consequences including separation between structure and space.
