Abstract
The Spatial Structures; Movers and Shakers e-magazine is part of a
series of activities in preparation for the Spatial Structures 2020/21
conference, which will be held at the University of Surrey.
In the spirit of the key theme of ‘Inspiring the next generation,’ this e-magazine aims
to reach out and encourage young people to enter the field of spatial structures,
as well as to motivate everyone involved in this field.
To do this, we celebrate the life, work and achievements of world-leading individuals
and organisations in the field of spatial structures. We commend their outstanding
contributions to research and education, as well as those in design, fabrication and
construction. Each article chronicles one person’s story, and is also based on a written
or virtual interview – available through the YouTube channel, ‘SpatialStructures2021’
– that consists of a series of Q&As and a section entitled ‘Your space, your structure’,
where they present some of their projects and inspirations.
This e-magazine is published by the Spatial Structures Research Centre
at the University of Surrey. We hope you enjoy this new publication.
