Stuart Smith is a creative and innovative thinker in the field of building engineering design and a specialist in Structural Engineering.  Working for Arup with a team of multi-disciplinary engineers in London, he is engaged in the design of some of the world’s most interesting building projects.

Stuart has worked on tall buildings in seismic regions, cultural centres including galleries, performance venues and libraries, sports projects and residential and commercial projects. These include:

• A long-standing collaboration with Herzog & de Meuron which has included projects in USA, Europe, China, the Middle East, India and Brazil.
• The Perez Miami Art Museum with Herzog & de Meuron and the CCTV high rise in Beijing with OMA.
• Collaborated with artists, including Doris Salcedo for Shibboleth, Tate Modern 2007, and Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Wei Wei for Serpentine Pavilion 2012.

He is currently collaborating with Taller-g on Reforma 509, a high rise project in Mexico City and with Populous on two new projects for Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.

Stuart is interested in the field of new and innovative materials and techniques. As part of the 2014 London Design Festival, he helped build the Wikihouse, the world’s first open source, digitally-printed house. He is also involved in the Warner Stand at Lord’s, where Arup are pioneering the use of Tensotherm, a fabric impregnated with nanogel to provide high-thermal properties to a thin translucent roof covering, and niobium, an enhanced high strength steel, for the Reforma project.
