Structural Design – the next chapter
We are faced with fundamental global challenges—climate change, growing inequality, and the need to design
for rapid urbanization in a human centric and sustainable way—to which architecture has yet to develop consistent answers.
Shaping those will be an exciting journey. The design process is becoming more complex. It requires more transdisciplinary
collaboration and at the same time strong design leadership. Questions of material, structure, shape, organization, cultural
value, and formal expressions will need to be redefined. Structural Design plays a key role in this.
Using
a combination of research, focused studies, and on-project design work, the Structural Design department is exploring and
shaping the structural engineering aspects of this next chapter in the development of architecture.
