responsible for the stability, safety, and functionality of a structure, from the overall framing to a detailed connection
-
passionate about the impact that spaces can have on the way people behave, learn, and interact
-
accountable for understanding the behaviour of a structure – how do the forces flow through the structure and what are the potential modes of failure?
-
concerned with the conception, design, analysis, and construction of structural components subject to static and dynamic forces
-
aware that every challenge has multiple solutions and eager to explore the possibilities
