“A cantilever is
an overhanging beam or floor supported at only one end” (Sporre 91). Prestressed concrete and steel play an
important role in the design of a cantilever. The overhang is only supported on
one end so they supporting material needs to be very strong. A cantilever appears to be a very modern
design of architecture. It is
interesting to look at, and I think it provides the architect with more opportunities
to be creative and think outside of the box when designing a structure.
