As part of the Institution of Structural Engineers’ (IStructE) Young Members Group, Konstantinos Agrafiotis, Principal Structural Engineer, and Niall Conyers, Senior Structural Engineer, will deliver a presentation on how parametric design transformed the structural development of two projects.

Konstantinos and Niall will present two projects, ‘Al Nehem’ whale, an iconic large scale suspended artwork in Qatar that required an exceptional precision, and a data centre building that benefited from an optimised steel structure, minimising tonnage and embodied carbon.

This technical presentation will be focusing on how parametric design can create better structures with fewer headaches along the way.
