A review of a research program developed in the last fen years into the dynamics of large block structure is presented. The many aspects which characterize the structural behaviour and determine the complexity of the consequent dynamics are briefly discussed. The preliminary mechanical models and first results obtained are also analyzed; they allow to define the direction of the main object of the research in progress
