The 2011 CIBSE Annual Lecture on 10 November was presented by Chris Wise who addressed the rhetorical question "I wonder what it would feel like if we did that?"
The Lecture was in three parts covering the role of the vital trace elements of Imagination, Empathy and Physicality in engineering design; a look at whether these ancient human traits help us to create great contemporary engineering or lead us into folly. Chris used built and unbuilt examples ranging from the Millennium Bridge to the 2012 London Velodrome to illustrate his presentation.
