Event: ACE Society Lecture: Neil Thomas, Atelier One

Thursday 25 February 2021 at 6:15pm - 7:30pm

Zoom


"Why Not?" Join us for an interesting Thursday evening with Professor Neil Thomas MBE, Founder and Director of Atelier One, named as the 'most innovative Engineering Practice in the UK’.

Don't miss out the opportunity to see engineering beyond just the construction of buildings but also in the making of arts and performance. The talk is titled "Why Not?". Neil Thomas describes engineering as "the most creative of careers I could have possibly imagined, in fact which I couldn’t have imagined. There are no boundaries, only those defined by nature itself."

It is a great opportunity to gain insight into Atelier One, structural engineers, which have been described as, ‘the most innovative Engineering Practice in the UK’. Some of their notable works include:

  • Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate in Chicago
  • The London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony
  • The award winning Conservatories & Super trees at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore
