YOUR UK TOUR LEADER

Andrew Lawrence, Associate, Arup Advanced Technology and Research Group, London

A leading international timber specialist, Andrew has been involved in landmark projects including Alvaro Siza's Serpentine Pavilion and the Metz Pompidou by Shigeru Ban.

"In the past 5 - 10 years designers have started to realise the potential of timber as a structural material to create dynamic and innovative structures.  No two timber structures look alike so there is much more scope for the architect and engineer to stamp their mark on the structure."
