answer: The Snowman
context: Title: Flash Gordon (film)
  Passage: Flash Gordon is a 1980 science fiction action film created in Technicolor and Todd-AO, based on the King Features comic strip of the same name created by Alex Raymond.  The film was directed by Mike Hodges and produced by Dino De Laurentiis.  It stars Sam J. Jones, Melody Anderson, Topol, Max von Sydow, Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed and Ornella Muti.  The movie was co-written by Michael Allin (of "Enter the Dragon" fame) and Lorenzo Semple Jr. (who had previously scripted De Laurentiis's remake of "King Kong").  It intentionally uses a camp style similar to the 1960s TV series "Batman" (for which Semple had developed and written many episodes) in an attempt to appeal to fans of the original comics and serial films. Although a box office success in the United Kingdom, it performed poorly overseas.  The film is notable for its soundtrack composed, performed and produced by the rock band Queen, with the orchestral sections by Howard Blake.  The film has since gained a significant cult following.

  Title: Structural art
  Passage: Certain works of structural engineering design are also works of structural art.  Such works can be classified as structural art when they attain excellence in the three areas of efficiency, economy, and elegance, as defined by Prof. David P. Billington of Princeton University.  A key part of the concept of structural art is that the structural engineer making the design must exercise his or her creativity and playfulness to create an elegant structure within the constraints imposed by engineering requirements.  These constraints include the safety and serviceability of the structure.  Therefore, a structure cannot be a successful work of structural art without also being a successful work of structural engineering design, yet many works of structural engineering design that are safe and serviceable do not rise to the level of structural art because they fail to be economical, efficient, or elegant.  Structural art is a topic of active scholarly research at several universities in the United States, including Princeton University, Tufts University, Bucknell University, University of Massachusetts Amherst, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Roger Williams University, and in other parts of the world such as Spain (Universitat Politécnica de València) and Germany (HCU Hamburg).  While structural artists often collaborate with architects, the discipline of structural art is based upon engineering rather than architectural design.  A recent summary about this topic can be found in a review paper
