For generations, the role of the structural engineer fundamentally has been to ensure that a safe, robust building is constructed, guaranteeing the safety and comfort of its users. Now looking forward, we see an important change in our role; projects must deliver social value, be striving for net zero or even regenerative design, using digital tools and built for disassembly, factoring in the circular economy and modelling structures as stores of carbon and materials for future use.
