AEDC 2011 Winners Announced:

 

Fast + Epp congratulates the 2011 Architectural Engineering Design Competition winners:

Winners: 'A Cradle of Boughs' - Denny Anggabrata, Taras Leszczyszyn, Brett Liljefors
Second: 'Lynn Valley Lookout' - Fatemeh Ghanbari, Adam Moussa, Andrew Neuman
Honourable Mention: 'Varying Views' - Christina Grimes, Kurtis Topping

The 2011 competition called for the design of a theoretical cantilevered platform located at Lynn Canyon Park, North Vancouver, protruding forty feet out over a two-hundred foot high rocky bluff.  Integrating engineering and architectural design, the student teams created design proposals and were judged on the design aesthetics, form and function, economics, durability, sustainability, and constructability. 

We would like to thank our guest judges, James Brown of Bing Thom Architects and AnnaLisa Meyboom of UBC Architecture. Julien Fagnan, Duane Palibroda, and Nick de Ridder formed our in-house judging team.

2010 Canadian Consulting Engineering Awards:



The Richmond Olympic Oval and Kingsway Pedestrian Bridge have both received the Award of Excellence at the CCE Awards, which is jointly sponsored by the Canadian Consulting Engineer Magazine and the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies – Canada.

 

The Richmond Olympic Oval was jointly submitted by Fast + Epp (engineers for roof structure) and Glotman Simpson (engineers for base structure).  The CCE Award of Excellence marks the first integrated whole-building engineering award for the Oval, which has previously taken home 9 awards for the roof structure engineering alone. Special thanks go to Richmond Olympic Oval Client The City of Richmond, and Architect Cannon Design.

 

The Kingsway Pedestrian Bridge marks its 5th engineering award. Fast + Epp are honoured by this rare inclusion of a pedestrian bridge in the large-scale project dominated national awards program, and would like to thank Client The City of Burnaby and Architect Busby Perkins + Will for their contribution to this award-winning structure.
