Speakers

Steve Davidson, Technical Director, Parmarbrook

Steve is an accomplished chartered engineer who has worked on a large number of varied and complex projects during his 16-year career. He has an extensive track record working on commercial offices and mix use residential developments. His commitment to deliver projects that address the climate issues are core to his and Parmarbrook’s philosophy.

Steve has a passion for unlocking the potential of existing buildings through sustainable refurbishments, which both reduce embodied carbon and bring the architectural vision to life.

Chris Edgington, Associate Director, Arup

Chris Edgington led Arup’s multi-disciplinary design team at 8 Bishopsgate. An MEP engineer by background, he started on the project in 2013 at the outset of the feasibility stage and has been fortunate to remain engaged with the building throughout its design and construction period.

Chris will share his observations gained from nearly a decade of working on the project, and will offer insight into some of the technical challenges and successes of the 50 storey building which achieved practical completion in June 2023.
