The Work of Cecil Balmond

Inspired by his work with influential architects including Rem Koolhaas and Daniel Libeskind, Cecil Balmond searches for an exquisite blend of structural form and structural logic

As the deputy chairman of the world's largest engineering firm, Arup, Cecil Balmond has been the engineer for some of architecture's most influential structures—both built and unbuilt. Now he's developing master plans in London and St. Petersburg, and designing buildings. His first, a bridge in Coimbra, Portugal, opened last November. Balmond has taught at Harvard and Yale, has a permanent chair at Penn and held his first solo exhibition at Artists Space in New York last fall. Take a look at some of his impressive works here.
