Structural engineering innovation for a zero-carbon world: an R&D agenda to match the carbon budget

Authors of the IStructE’s latest publication will share their vision of what the work of an engineer might look like in the future.

This technical lecture describes the prototyping, testing and design approach that enabled the realisation of the Arc, the gymnasium for the Green School in Bali, whose project team was awarded for advancing the structural application of low-carbon materials at the 2022 Structural Awards.

This lecture explores lean structural design, how to challenge a brief to reduce embodied carbon, and low-carbon structural innovation.
