Elizabeth Bishop
Elizabeth is a Senior Facade Designer who joined Arup Facade Engineering group in 2013. Previously she worked for Zaha Hadid Architects where she was a Senior Designer. Her prior experience includes working on various competitions including the Beethoven Concert Hall in Bonn, the John Cranko Ballet School in Stuttgart, and a design for Flinders Street Station in Melbourne. She is familiar with the entire design through to the construction phases of projects as well, managing the façades package for the King Abdullah Petroleum Research Centre (KAPSARC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia while at Zaha Hadid's office and working on the design of Burj Khalifa and the on-site construction administration of Trump Tower in Chicago during her time in Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill's office. She is trained as an architect and as a writer, researching and publishing works on the Infrastructure of Empire while completing her master’s degree at Yale. In practise she has focused on façades design and detailing of buildings with complex forms. After researching and publishing papers and making presentations on architecture, engineering, building envelopes and complex geometry, she joined Arup Façade Engineering to study these aspects further and explore the intersections of form, sustainable design, and advanced façade technologies. Elizabeth is also a LEED Accredited Professional and involved with RIBA’s Fluid Diversity mentoring program.
Toby Clark
Toby is a specialist within Arup Facade Engineering, in modelling, analysing and optimising geometrically complex buildings. As a former member of Arup’s Advanced Geometry Unit (AGU), he has extensive experience with working on such irregular building forms. As architectural forms become more complicated, the ability of design teams to respond to change can only be realised by using an array of tools that parametrically update models retaining numerical data and links to analytical software. Toby's skills with such tools allow the design team to make informed decisions about form development that balance the visual and architectural intent with constructability and cost. He uses the latest parametric tools and writes custom software to optimise and rationalise for different design drivers that may include structural performance (or form finding), environmental performance and/or façade fabrication rationalisation. He has worked both in the United Kingdom and the Australian offices for Arup, and has extensive international experience working with leading architectural practices on cultural, commercial and infrastructure buildings, often where teams have been dispersed geographically and with different technical abilities. |
