Final year project

In my final year at university, I was part of a team tasked with designing a new airport in London to meet the growing demand for air travel. As the structural engineer, I was responsible for designing the main terminal building, which featured a steel frame structure combined with a tensile fabric roof. I conducted most of the necessary calculations by hand to ensure the design’s structural integrity.
