Structural Engineering Consulting for Artists

We provide structural engineering services to artists in a role that elevates the standard engineer into a creative partner in design. Our workflow in this typology focuses on interacting with the artist in their preferred 3D environment using computational and parametric tools to describe the structural behavior of an installation model developed by the artist. Our specialized skillset includes interpreting the results and providing an iterative feedback loop that informs the artist’s evolution of concept.

With an advanced understanding of digital and computational tools we are capable of engineering projects with complex geometries while managing vast amounts of data and seamlessly communicating the engineering requirements into the design process. We are experienced in using any material, ranging from structural glass to composites, to support unique works of art such as suspended sculptures, tension structures, and more. We take great pride in understanding the vision of a piece and crafting a supporting structural framework that assists in telling its story and representing artistic intent.
