My colleague and friend Gianantonnio Sacchi from Milan and I met with Professor Prager in Savognin in July 1974, where I submitted to them my first ideas for a treatise on structural optimization: It should cover the whole domain from basic theory to practical applications, and deal with various materials, various types of structures, various functions required of the structures, and various types of cost . .

Nothing similar existed at that time, and, indeed, nothing has been published to date. Professor Prager was immedi­ ately in favor of such a project.
