David Tasker

Consultant Engineer
 

An integrated part of eco arc's projects is working with David Tasker b.sc (eng), m.sc(arch), c.eng, mice structural design engineer.

David is a design-orientated engineer who works closely with creative architects and aspires to engineer elegant structures, which are affordable, environmentally sensitive and socially beneficial. His approach to structural design is based on a collaborative 'shared vision' within the design team, allowing each project to generate its own specific structural solutions; this has resulted in a very diverse range of materials and systems, from simple frames and trusses to stressed shells and membranes.
