The mounting desire for sustainable, economical, and “honest” design has encouraged the move towards exposed structures – buildings that showcase engineering ingenuity and intricate integration of mechanical, electrical, and acoustical systems. On Oct. 15 at the MacMillan Space Centre, structural engineer Paul Fast will explain the design challenges of “baring it all.”
Fast is Managing Partner of Fast + Epp and has led the structural design of many buildings locally and internationally including the Richmond Olympic Oval Roof, Kingsway Pedestrian Bridge, VanDusen Botanical Garden Visitors Centre, and Shanghai Wood Presentation Centre.
Date: Monday, Oct. 15
Time: 6:30– 8:30 p.m.
Place: HR MacMillan Space Centre, 1100 Chestnut St., Vancouver
