Article Abstract:

It is important that structures reflect how they work, according to Faith Wainwright, the newest director at Ove Arup & Partners. She has been inspired by Felix Candela's experimental concrete shell structures, regarding them as adventurous and pure. She is particularly proud of her work on Duxford American Air Museum. She believes that structural engineers should seek to establish more direct communication with people who use their buildings.

Article Abstract:

Many UK quantity surveyors and architects are likely to receive salary increases in 1996, following several years in which salary increases were unusual. However, many employers are still being cautious, and are no longer offering extras such as company cars. The average salary for a fully qualified architect is 19,800 pounds sterling a year, with a fully qualified quantity surveyor earning on average 21,200 pounds sterling a year.
