If you have a question about this talk, please contact Shehara Perera.

Steve founded Webb Yates Engineers with Andy Yates in 2005. Since founding the company, he has led a number of prestigious, multi award-winning projects, including the Stirling Prize shortlisted 15 Clerkenwell Close, The Kantor Centre of Excellence for the Anna Freud Centre, and the Hoover Building.

While thriving to make building structures intrinsic to architecture, Steve has pioneered the practice’s approach to innovation and sustainability. He is a strong advocate for the use of non-conventional materials to design low carbon structures, from cast iron to cork, and from inflatables to stone and timber.

Steve has written extensively for industry publications, including the Architect’s Journal, Architectural Review, Architecture Today, and the RIBA Journal. In 2020, he was awarded the Milne Medal, for continuously challenging and redefining what is considered possible in structural design.
