About this Event
What if we challenged everything we thought we knew about the way buildings are designed, engineered and constructed?
Join WDSA and the University of Wolverhampton for our annual Christmas Lecture, welcoming Rob Neild from Webb Yates for an evening exploring the creative possibilities of structural engineering and its relationship with architecture.
Known for their inventive approach to engineering, Webb Yates are pushing the boundaries of conventional construction, exploring the potential of materials and developing innovative structural solutions that challenge established ways of thinking.
From rethinking the use of traditional materials such as stone and timber to exploring unconventional structural systems, their work demonstrates how engineering can do far more than simply make buildings stand up. It can become an integral part of the architectural vision, opening up new possibilities for design, material expression and sustainable construction.
Through this special lecture, Rob will share insights into the thinking, experimentation and collaboration behind Webb Yates' work, offering an opportunity to discover how engineers and architects can work together to question convention and create more imaginative approaches to the built environment.
Whether you're an architect, engineer, student or built environment professional, expect an evening of fresh perspectives, inspiring projects and ideas to take back into your own practice.
And, of course, no WDSA Christmas Lecture would be complete without a little festive cheer!
Join us afterwards for refreshments, networking and the opportunity to catch up with colleagues and friends from across the architectural community.
