The Olympics will be held in London in 2012. This was one reason
why IABSE and IASS both decided to hold their 2011 Symposium in the
UK, taking advantage of the opportunity to explore the exciting
structures under construction for the Olympics. The decision was
made to hold a joint event for the first time since 1994, and the
Organisers are delighted that members of both associations and
delegates from around the world will come together in September
2011 in London for what promises to be a truly unique occasion. The
event also incorporates the 6th International Conference on Space
Structures traditionally held at Surrey University.
As an international venue, London is hard to beat. A vibrant and
exciting place with many famous historical and contemporary
landmarks, the city throbs with artistic and cultural activity, and
provides the perfect backdrop for this unique event.
This invitation is extended to all those who wish to come to
London in September 2011 to participate in what promises to be a
memorable and significant Symposium. It is aimed at practicing
engineers, architects, researchers, clients, constructors and all
those involved in developing or studying the built environment.
