Mass Timber Construction Podcast Special Guest - Lucas Epp - Integrated Supply Chain

StructureCraft are a dedicated, skilled, and leading-edge group
of in-house structural engineers, modellers, detailers,
estimators, project managers, supervisors and carpenters. The
team hails from a variety of countries beyond Canada including
United States, Italy, Norway, Scotland, India, Mexico, France,
Holland, Australia, Greece, Switzerland, Spain, and
Germany.  Their passion is creating beautiful, signature
structures in the most efficient way possible.

In this special guest episode, I speak with Lucas Epp about the
innovative ways StructureCraft are transforming the process of
design, manufacture and construction through software to achieve
the holy grail of true digital fabrication - they call it Branch
[not yet released].

Lucas is a structural engineer with more than 15 years of
experience working in Canada, the UK, and New Zealand. After
graduating from UBC, he spent several years working for
StructureCraft, where he was responsible for modelling several
large-scale timber projects including the 2010 Olympic Speed
Skating Oval roof structure. Following a desire to explore
abroad, he moved to London, UK for 5 years to work for Buro
Happold. While there, he worked with some of the world's leading
architects designing a range of projects including London's
Olympic Stadium and a 300m (1000ft) tower in Kuwait. He then
moved to New Zealand, working there on several seismically
challenging projects for 2 years prior to returning to
Canada.

His expertise with complex geometry and challenging structures
has led to involvement in projects where the close interaction of
architecture and structure is critical to the success of the
project. Lucas has been an invited speaker and guest lecturer at
ETH Zurich, the Architectural Association in London, and MIT,
among others.

Lucas has had a lifelong exposure to timber, working at
StructureCraft from a young age on the shop floor. He has since
been involved in many of the company's signature projects,
including the sweeping 200m (650ft) long Arena Stage Theatre
facade in Washington, DC and an 80m (265ft) clear span footbridge
in Banff, and now leads the engineering department at
StructureCraft.
