Avoiding Climate-Damaging Emissions
Our company founder Prof. Werner Sobek will receive the Gold Medal Award from the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) in London on 23 September 2024. According to IStructE, the reason for this important award is his “innovative work on adaptive structures” and his “significant research into the contribution of civil engineering to climate change“.
In seven short videos, which were recorded on the occasion of receiving the Gold Medal, Werner Sobek comments on the central themes of his work. The second statement explains the role of the construction industry as the main source of climate-damaging emission.
