Steve was awarded the medal for his creative approach to engineering, which has been applied to a number of innovative projects across the globe. Examples include futuristic skyscraper and Scandinavia?s tallest building Turning Torso in Malmo, Sweden, and the well-publicised residential scheme Barrett?s Grove in London, which was shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2017. Webb Yates Engineer?s pioneering approach to innovation and sustainability has been driven by Steve, who has encouraged ? in particular ? rethinking the choice and role of materials in construction. This has resulted in using non-conventional materials, from cast iron to cork and from inflatables to stone, to achieve structures with less impact on the environment and lower carbon emissions.
