Keynote Presentation by Mike Schlaich, Prof. Dr. sc.techn.

“Light Weight Structures – Demystified”

Elegant, bold, sleek, barely visible, light weight – are some of the many attributes and compliments that Mike has garnered for his ingenious structural designs of buildings, towers, roofs, facades and bridges, throughout Europe, the North Americas, South America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.

A specialist in lightweight structures, Mike is a firm believer in a holistic, conceptual design approach, and in the engineers’ responsibility to contribute more to ‘baukultur’ – that is the concept of producing quality structures to improve quality of life. Emulating it with his continued academic engagement and research at the TU Berlin, Mike has created his unique brand of technical excellence. At the Annual Meeting, Mike will share some of his achievements – demystifying how research can be readily transferred into a routine practice of generating elegant light-weight structures.
