Engenius

Manas and Saif talk to James Norman and Dominika Malkowska, about the future of sustainable civil engineering. James is an award-winning engineer and teacher, he has designed landmark buildings and developed innovative teaching that combines practice with learning. He’s written several books for engineers and students making sustainable building a reality. Dominika is a PhD student, under James' supervision, researching the use of Bamboo as a sustainable building material.

We talk to James and Dominika about the role civil engineers play in solving the climate crisis, focussing on the materials that are used in sustainable building. They also share their experiences working in industry and the challenges they overcame progressing to academic research and teaching.
