Description
In the new episode the we meet the authors of new book The Regenerative Structural Engineer, Oliver Broadbent and James Norman. The book, published by the Institution of Structural Engineers, draws on the two authors’ years of experience of civil and structural engineering. Today, Oliver is founder and co-leader of regenerative engineering training Constructivist and James is professor of sustainable design at the University of Bristol.
Their passion for engineering and helping to promote the inherent benevolence of the vocation is clear in our discussion. We talk about the process of writing and designing The Regenerative Structural Engineer then dive into some of its themes including regenerative thinking, the construction site as a system, learning from living systems and transitioning to a future where healing the environment is a natural outcome of design, construction and engineering.
Prior to that, the NCE team discusses the infrastructure related pledges in the manifestos of the major UK political parties as we build towards the General Election.
