We are proud to announce that Alberni by Kengo Kuma has been given a Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) Award of Excellence in the Best Tall Building by Height (100-199 meters) category! Designed by Kengo Kuma + Associates, and developed by Westbank, Alberni by Kengo Kuma intricately considers its surroundings, enhancing the cityscape. The tower's architecture harmonizes with the existing skyline, yet its distinctive silhouette sets it apart. The strategic placement of the slanted structural columns and Boolean scoops into the massing not only creates a visually captivating exterior but also serves functional purposes. By preserving views for neighbouring buildings and maximizing natural light penetration into the interior spaces, Alberni by Kengo Kuma integrates seamlessly into its urban context while enhancing the quality of life for its inhabitants. Our team utilized a Performance Based Design approach for the structure. Modeling vertical and horizontal earthquake records and testing the response of the building under stringent performance criteria. Glotman Simpson is proud to be the Structural Engineer for this project.

Over the past year, our Sustainability Committee has been dedicated to developing innovative tools to measure embodied carbon. STEVIE (Sustainable Tech Tool for Embodied Carbon Visualization of Integrated Efficiency), a BIM-integrated tool designed to automate the tracking of embodied carbon throughout a project’s lifespan generating graphics to provide clear visualizations of different structural elements and their embodied carbon intensities, allowing for targeted reduction strategies. CASEY (Comparative Analysis for Sustainable Efficiency) is our proprietary REVIT plug-in tool designed to assist designers in offering foundational building layouts and material options to clients and architects during the project’s preliminary stages. CARMA (Carbon Assessment and Reduction Made Accessible) is another tool that provides an analytical comparison of two structural options on an element-by-element basis, considering both Global Warming Potential (GWP) and cost impacts. This allows our engineers to make informed decision-making during the project’s preliminary stages and communicate that to our clients. With the introduction of these new tools, we are empowered to transform data into action and lead the construction industry toward a more sustainable future, one decision at a time.

Designed by Francl Architect, The Arc’s most remarkable feature is the floating corridor connecting the east and west towers at the 20th level, showcasing a suspended glass-bottom swimming pool. The design and construction of the pool posed significant challenges due to the extremely low deformation tolerance of the acrylic panels. The pool features a 6-inch-thick acrylic glass floor, engineered to support the weight of approximately 1,650 cars. Located at the northern foot of the Cambie Bridge in Vancouver, BC, The Arc stands as a visual landmark and structural triumph, seamlessly blending aesthetic appeal with robust engineering solutions. Glotman Simpson is proud to have been the Structural Engineer on this project.

While women make up more than half of the Canadian population, they only comprise 15% of the engineering profession. This number has risen from 13.5% over the past five years, yet the field remains predominantly male. International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) seeks to address this imbalance by providing a platform for female engineers and encouraging young women to pursue careers in engineering. We spoke with some of our talented female technical staff about their career journeys and how we can inspire more young women to pursue careers in STEAM.

Developed by Bosa and designed by Buttjes Architecture, the Dockside Green Phase A1 project features three towers each reaching 13, 14, and 16-storeys along the shoreline of Vic West. Dockside Green is designed to achieve LEED Platinum standards, setting a new green standard for developments in Canada. Equipped with a blackwater treatment system, biomass clean energy system, rainwater collection system, and environmental biodiversity systems, it represents an integrated approach to environmental stewardship. Upon completion of the masterplan development, Dockside Green will encompass 26 buildings spread across 1.3M SF, providing homes for approximately 2,500 residents. Glotman Simpson is proud to be the Structural Engineer on this project.
