dc.description	Jane Wernick is a structural engineer who likes to collaborate with architects and other designers on any project that gives delight. She has extensive experience of unusual and challenging structures designed in collaboration with leading architects. She worked at Arup for many years, including running the Los Angeles office from 1986 to 1988, and was the engineer behind the structural design of the Millennium Wheel. In 1998 she founded Jane Wernick Associates. She is a member of numerous panels such as Design Council Cabe, the EDGE and Building Futures, while “Building Happiness – Architecture to make you smile”, which she edited, discusses contemporary ideas and debates around the nature of the built environment. A choral singer and keen gardener, she can also occasionally be found swimming in the Hampstead ponds. She has taught at many architecture schools and lectured at universities around the world.

dc.description.abstract	As structural engineers we have the responsibility not only to make sure our designs stand up, but also to consider the effect that they have on the built environment and those who experience them. The talk will cover a number of projects, ranging from buildings to footbridges and structures, and will describe how the structural ideas were developed together with the clients, architects and the rest of the design teams.	en_US
