ABOUT LUCAS EPP

A technically competent and driven structural engineer with twenty years experience working in North America, the UK, New Zealand, and China. Expert in complex geometry, parametric modelling, and scripting. Interested in combining structural engineering with programming to create beautiful and minimal structures. Working with web-based tech such as WebGL to create new ways of visualizing design information. Passionate about mass timber engineering and design.At StructureCraft I lead the delivery of our timber structures across North America and Asia, leading both the engineering team and 3D modelling department. I also spearheaded the launch of Dowel Laminated Timber - a new mass timber product in North America, being responsible for design of the manufacturing line to produce this new product, and achieving ICC certification for DLT.I have held a broad range of responsibilities as a structural engineer, responsible for structural analysis, design, documentation delivery, team management, and site monitoring on projects of different scales and types. During my time at Buro Happold in London, I worked with several prominent UK architectural firms and was involved in the structural engineering on a 300m tower among many other projects. In this office I expanded internal research into parametric design - in particular complex geometry.I am passionate about teaching, and have been involved as a lecturer and tutor both at architectural programs (Architectural Association, London) and in engineering programs (ETH Zurich, Imperial College, UBC, UNBC).
