The winners of The Young Structural Engineers International Design Competition were announced on 18 March, during a reception at our Bastwick Street Headquarters in London.
The International Design Competition is organised every three years by The Institution’s Educational Trust to encourage ingenuity, imagination and inventiveness in young structural engineers.

The concept of this design is that a transitional shelter is a pre-fabricated, modular, self-assembled cuboid. The proposed structure form is a hybrid-timber/steel pin jointed frame which has hinged vertical and horizontal members which allow the structure to be easily erected. The tensile memberane keeps the structure light-weight and easy to hanfle and move. The individual shelter forms part of a modular system where they can be 'stacked' to two storeys high, and a maximum of four units in either direction.
