SUMMARY:Nethercot Paper Prize 2026 - Stage 1 deadline
DESCRIPTION:Nethercot Paper Prize\, 2026\n\n\n\nEarly career architects\, engineers\, and designers (expected to be under 35 and based in the UK) are invited to submit a single author paper for judging for the Nethercot Prize. The paper should cover the process of designing a new structure or adapting an old one. \n\n\n\nThis year\, we have decided to split the process into two stages. Stage 1 is the submission of an abstract; if shortlisted\, participants will be invited to submit a full paper at Stage 2. \n\n\n\nThe prize is named after Professor David Nethercot\, President of IABSE 2013-2016. \n\n\n\nShortlisted authors will be invited to the IABSE Milne Medal dinner\, to be held on 11th November 2026. The winner of the paper competition will be awarded with a cash prize of £500\, and an opportunity to present their work in an internationally broadcast IABSE webinar. \n\n\n\nStory telling is a key skill to successfully convey ideas during a project. Excellent quality work can easily be ignored if not accompanied with appropriate communication. This award aims to encourage the written communication skills of the participants and highlight the excellent project work that is carried out by IABSE early career professionals. \n\n\n\nThe judges are not interested on reading papers that focus on selling the outcome of a project. A successful paper in the Nethercot Prize will engage with the reader; define the key drivers of a project you have been working on; explain the key architectural or structural engineering interventions that have been made; explain what has been your contribution to the project; explain what makes both the project and your contrition remarkable; and especially\, critically analyse what went well and what might have been improved. \n\n\n\nAbstracts should be limited to 150 words\, and papers to 1300 words.

SUMMARY:Nethercot Webinar - Manor Lodge School
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Baigent\, Structural Engineer at Price & Myers and Nethercot Prize winner 2025 will give an IABSE webinar on her project Manor Lodge School. \n\n\n\nWhen: February  March 13\, 2026\, 1pm-2pm. (POSTPONED) Register (Free): Click Here \n\n\n\nManor Lodge School – Designing for Nature and Nuture \n\n\n\nManor Lodge combined technical precision with personal growth. The project reinforced that good design depends not only on detailed specification\, but also on collaboration and communication. Done properly\, this creates a structure that is both functional and inspiring. At the picturesque school\, the task was to replace a tired conservatory with a new\, extended space for learning\, play\, and connection with nature. The challenges included working in difficult ground conditions\, within an occupied school\, whilst still keeping sustainability at the forefront. This project highlighted the challenges of working with existing buildings (even with record drawings)\, the need for teamwork and creative problem solving\, and how every meeting can be improved with a bacon butty. \n\n\n\nRead the full paper here\, which won the Nethercot Prize in 2025. \n\n\n\n\nBook tickets

SUMMARY:Webinar - Space House (by the Nethercot Prize Winner)
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: David Knight\, Chair\, British Group IABSE\, Cake Industries\, UK \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Livia Guimaraes\, Winner British Group Nethercot Prize 2023\, UK \n\n\n\nSpace House: a low-carbon reuse of a 1960’s icon \n\n\n\nSpace House is a low carbon adaptive re-use of a 1960’s Grade II* listed brutalist icon\, originally designed by Richard Siefert and Pell Frischmann. As the original designers we were able to revisit the innovative engineering of the time and\, through extensive desktop study and onsite investigations\, exploit existing structural opportunities adding significant value and adapting the structure to modern building standards. \n\n\n\nBy introducing a 2-story extension to the Tower and a rooftop pavilion structure to the Kingsway Block we were able to significantly increase office space without requiring any additional foundations. The project is set to enhance the Holborn area\, providing modern workspace\, retail facilities\, and public spaces – a true testament to a successful urban renewal story and sustainable design. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Livia is a graduate structural engineer that is avidly passionate about architecture and sustainable design. Currently working at Pell Frischmann\, Livia has been involved in a variety of different projects ranging from residential new builds\, forensic investigations\, and mixed-use redevelopments. \n\n\n\nModerator: David Knight is the Chair of the IABSE British Group. \n\n\n\nPlease register for this webinar here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_i1dhY9BbQRuKS7HUyj9q4Q#/registration
