This is the eleventh webinar from the Riverside University Design Competition 2021.

The webinar focused on ‘Structural Engineering’, challenging the preconceptions of how we build and demonstrating how our choices affect carbon emissions.

#RSUDC21 is a design competition from MOBIE and Sunderland City Council together with TRADA’s University Engagement Programme. They have launched an exciting Urban Living Design Competition with major sponsor the Confederation of Timber Industries (CTI) to transform a spectacular site into a unique, carbon-neutral urban quarter – an extraordinary place to live, work and play.
