ABOUT BURO HAPPOLD Operating from 25 offices worldwide, Buro HappoldÊs expertise draws upon multiple disciplines to create design solutions: from road schemes, bridges, harbours, schools, sports stadia and offices, to hotels, hospitals and tall buildings. It was founded in 1976 by Sir Edmund Happold in Bath, in Southwest England when he left Ove Arup and Partners to take up a post at the University of Bath as Professor, for the curriculums of Architecture & Engineering Design. Today among the worldÊs most dynamic multi-disciplinary engineering consultancies, Buro Happold aims to produce high quality engineering design in concept, in detail and in execution, on time, to programme and delivering excellent value for money. The FirmÊs distinctive culture and ethos is based on the same principles of care, value and elegance that were established when the practice was founded. Its reputation for excellence has grown from the basis that engineering is always viewed as one important component of a projectÊs overall design solution as seen in many of their landmark projects around the world.

This highly innovative project showed how timber buildings could be constructed in a more sustainable way using ‘worthless’ green timber. Pruned timber thinnings – which are usually discarded or pulped – were glued together to form the main structural elements.
Containing both offices and manufacturing areas, this RIBA award winning building is centred on a naturally lit atrium with a metal stairway linking the ground and first floors. The simple but elegant structural design enables a high degree of environmental control and operational flexibility.
Buro Happold provided structural engineering for the major refurbishment of Imagination’s 6,500m2 West End headquarters. A key challenge of the award-winning design was the construction of a new atrium, which has a lightweight PVC roof to minimise loading on the existing framework.
Hampshire County Council required a nautical feel for its new outdoor activities centre, with an emphasis on traditional shipbuilding technology. Buro Happold developed a unique faceted roof structure using pairs of interlocking baulk timbers to form a ‘locked chain’ effect.

“Engineering is a great profession. There is the satisfaction of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realisation in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings homes to men or women. Then it elevates the standard of living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the Engineer’s high privilege” - Herbert Hoover (1874 -1964)

Buro Happold’s groundbreaking report for business group London First, published in 2009, revealed that neighbourhood power could reduce London’s carbon footprint by 3.5 million tonnes. Cutting the Capital’s Carbon Footprint calls for collaboration between central government, the mayor and his agencies, energy companies, developers and boroughs to ‘decentralise’ a quarter of London’s energy.

Linking large heat users such as housing estates, leisure centres and hospitals to locally-placed electricity plants can deliver massive efficiency gains, instead of centralised generation with its huge waste heat losses from many miles of high voltage cables. Some local energy centres may also produce power from renewable sources such as unrecyclable waste.
Makkah Region Economic Development Strategy Consulting
This regional development strategy is aimed at creating employment across a 140,000 km2 region of 12 governorates. Key objectives were to create an integrated development corridor that linked towns to nodal markets and transport hubs, to identify keys sectors for growth and the steps necessary to promote them and to decide on the enabling interventions that needed to be taken to support the strategy and to produce an implementation roadmap.
Vacant Sub-divided Unplanned Settlements Regeneration Urban Addition
The Municipality of Jeddah must sustainably manage the growth of a city whose population is set to nearly double in the next 20 years. An unresponsive property market and a relaxed planning environment have meant that the city suffers from urban sprawl and a proliferation of unplanned settlements, most of which lack basic infrastructure. The sprawling plan of the city along its coast has resulted in a city dominated by the private cars with roads absorbing the majority of public investment, to the detriment of public services and open space. Happold Consulting developed the ‘Jeddah 1450 (2028) Vision’, followed by the Jeddah Strategic Plan, a comprehensive cross-sectoral 20-year plan and policy document for the city region. HC did so in partnership with the Municipality, based both within their offices and from London.
