Erin McConahey
Arup was founded in 1946 and it has grown into an international group of multi-disciplinary practices with nearly 6500 employees in 71 offices throughout the world. The ideals of founder Sir Ove Arup were, and are, driving forces within the firm. Foremost among his beliefs are "total design" - the integration of the design and construction processes and the interdependence of all the professions involved - the creative nature of engineering design, the value of innovation and the social purpose of design. Erin McConahey has been with Arup for 7 years: her first two years were in London England as part of the American Scholar program and the last five have been in the Los Angeles office, where she is currently a Professional Engineer working as an Associate in Mechanical Engineering.
A published paper will be available on the subjects presented in Ms. McConahey's SCE talk:
McConahey, E., P. Haves, and T. Christ. 2002. "The Integration of Engineering and Architecture: A Perspective on Natural Ventilation for the New San Francisco Federal Building." To be presented at the ACEEE 2002 Summer Study on Energy Efficiency in Buildings: Energy Efficiency in a Competitive Environment, August 18-23, 2002, Asilomar, Pacific Grove, CA and published in the Proceedings. Washington, D.C.: American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
