Buro Happold’s facade experts played a crucial role in realising the complex architectural vision for a new cultural centre in China’s Guangdong Province, named Lounge of Blues. The centre has become an instant local landmark and sets a benchmark for island eco-tourism. The building’s eye-catching aesthetic is inspired by the vast sea it overlooks. However, constructing so close to the sea can present its own challenges. It was vital that our solutions would prove resilient in the face of the erosive tendencies of the sea air and coastal weather conditions.

It is with great delight that we are sharing the news that our colleague, Associate MEP engineer William Holley CEng MCIBSE Holley has won the prestigious CIBSE Ken Dale Travel Bursary. Will, who is based at our Hamburg office, was selected from among a group of eight finalists by a jury from the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), who grants the bursary every year to members to undertake research in their field of work to benefit the engineering profession. With the money he receives from the bursary he will travel to Finland, China and Japan to investigate the integration of heat pump technology into the built environment. He aims to disseminate his insights and establish design guidance to aid engineers to effectively integrate heat pumps into their projects. Will’s research will benefit Buro Happold as well as the wider construction industry to transition to low-carbon heat and achieve net zero carbon buildings. https://lnkd.in/d8pfCYYZ #burohappold #engineering #buildingservices #MEP #heatpumps #CIBSE

Buro Happold supported Citi to develop a transformational vision for the refurbishment of the iconic 25 Canada Square in Canary Wharf, also known as Citi Tower. Believed to currently be the largest active commercial retrofit project in Europe, it will create a stunning workplace for the future, incorporating the latest technology and the highest standards of environmental design. Citi identified the importance of updating the tower to better reflect the needs of a modern workplace. Buro Happold was engaged to provide specialist insight around facades engineering, which given the nature of the interventions, is a key discipline in the success of the project. We are working closely with the wider design team, led by WilkinsonEyre to realise this stunning transformation.

Today’s investors are increasingly prioritising the ESG (environmental, social and governance) impact of the investments within their portfolio, particularly around the relevant ESG metrics required to make sound investment decisions. PIC (Pension Insurance Corporation plc) prides itself on purposeful investment and recently enlisted Buro Happold to advise on how to embed an ESG strategy that could balance managing and mitigating risks with creating value and opportunity that could lead to long term growth. Buro Happold’s ESG experts were initially brought on board to develop an ESG framework to assess future assets investments, at due diligence stage. The process was adopted and implemented across new build residential, commercial offices, Build to Rent, senior living and existing buildings acquisitions. PIC is committed to helping the property sector transition to be more environmentally-conscious as it considers this a forward-looking investment opportunity and the right thing to do for the wider society. Through our partnership, Buro Happold conducted a deep dive into PIC’s real estate asset pipeline and portfolio. A key element of the solutions proposed included assessing PIC’s assets, to benchmark where they stand now and undertake an in-depth and unflinching assessment of the company’s ESG due diligence gaps. Following this exercise our experts built a proprietary ESG toolkit for private market investment due diligence. PIC is now able to apply this bespoke, market-leading framework to all potential investments and is applying the framework retrospectively to the existing build-to-rent portfolio.

Did you know Tower Bridge was once raised to allow a giraffe to pass through? Or that the London Underground has its own ghost stations? These are just some of the fascinating facts, unsolved mysteries and engineering marvels that lie waiting to be discovered. Buro Happold’s Global Transport & Mobility team and walking tour provider, Footways have collaborated on the launch of the Great British Engineering Map. This map allows visitors and residents of London to explore the city’s most incredible feats of engineering, from the ancient remains of Roman Londinium’s walls and aqueducts, to the Victorian splendour of St Pancras Station, to modern icons such as The Shard. Walkers will encounter engineering masterpieces, past and present, as they explore the hidden tunnels and forgotten structures that have shaped the London streetscape. The Great British Engineering Adventure map provides several circular routes to choose from, designed to suit all ages and abilities. You can follow a 15, 30 or 60 minute walk through Central London or, for the more adventurous, you can hop on your bike and complete the full 18 mile route around the city. Whichever you decide, you’ll be treated to feature-filled streets and beautiful green spaces along the way. Grab your map, get out into nature, and show your kids the value of STEM in shaping our world. The route can be viewed here: https://lnkd.in/eeqAS5SE To pre-register for our Urban Explorers Club click here: https://lnkd.in/eQ5v6rmQ #engineering #map #london #walking #STEM #families

What can the individual do to help re-green our cities? And did you know you can get insects delivered by Royal Mail, but why would you? Find out in this week’s ‘Sandbox’ FOMO5... As individuals, we can collectively make a difference to the world around us. When it comes to re-greening our urban areas, there is something we can all do to help, whether it be inspiring each other to plant more in our gardens or window boxes, or even working with the local community to create more urban greenery. Every new bud and seedling helps – and Tamsin helps by suggesting different ways each of us can contribute to a greener landscape. In our latest ‘Sandbox’ episode - ‘Urban Wonderlands: grey or green?’ - our guests explore ways in which the individual can help. Colin Byrne, Partner, Buro Happold, said: “I often think about my dad when I'm thinking about how to start looking at gardening and biodiversity in your space. “He also removed a big patch of concrete paving from a garden area, which is great because it's turning it into a sponge garden.” And then Colin goes on to explain the rather unusual packages his father ordered via Royal Mail – you'll just have to listen to find out what was inside! For more practical advice, keep an eye out across the Buro Happold social channels and all podcast platforms for our weekly FOMO5s following each monthly episode. The episode features Buro Happold engineering experts Colin Byrne and Aaron Grainger, special guest Tamsin Westhorpe, and our regular host Andy Duncan. You can also find the full episode, as well as its accompanying FOMO5s, on all the usual platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.

At Buro Happold, we recognise that even seemingly innocuous elements like street lighting can have a profound impact on wildlife. Our biodiversity and lighting experts collaborated closely with globally-recognised turtle and artificial light assessment specialists to advise on the development of a major tourism destination on the shores of the Red Sea - AMAALA, Saudi Arabia. The goal? To ensure that the nesting beaches of critically-endangered hawksbill sea turtles remain undisturbed by one of the Middle East’s most ambitious projects. Our Framework Action Plan ensures that AMAALA thrives as a model of sustainable development, where nature and progress coexist harmoniously.

Multiple global shifts. Complex challenges. Siloed working. The need for business advice alongside sound technical expertise is greater than ever, which is where advisory at Buro Happold comes in. Our long-standing relationships with our clients allow us to support them through every strategic shift, across multiple projects and tiers of work. We are client-centric, not project-centric. We’re one of the very few organisations who understand business issues and the engineering behind them. We assist clients with the most complex business management challenges as well as the planning and design of assets, public realm and infrastructure. These were the key takeaways from a recent advisory team meet-up, where the newly-formed group discussed strategy, growth, focus areas and ongoing project work. Led by Buro Happold partner and UK advisory lead Robert Moyser, the group met to discuss vision, team structure, key areas of focus and core capabilities. With expertise in sustainability, ESG and energy transition, digital advisory, digital twins, experience advisory, strategy and operating models within the tourism, entertainment and sport sectors, asset management optimisation and more represented in the room, discussions were lively and informative, with new connections made and existing ones strengthened. The day ended with pizza and drinks in the sun at the #FeatherstoneBuilding. With many thanks to Craig Palmer for capturing it in film. Many thanks also to all those who shared their projects Mark C., Andy Preece, Goc O'Callaghan, David Green, Tom Hopton and Michał Gryko. Buro Happold advisory. Business advice with engineering at its core.
