Yves Weinand is an architect, structural engineer, founder, and a professor at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne as well as the head of IBOIS, a laboratory for timber based constructions.[5] His work is focused on the combination of civil engineering and architecture. His work focuses on combining both approaches under one single perspective generating new architectural design and processes for construction. While primarily based in Belgium he has worked professionally in Finland, Germany, USA, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Career[edit]
Weinand graduated from Institut Supérieur d’Architecture de St. Luc in 1986 and in 1994 he obtained his degree in civil engineering from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).
In 1996 in Liège, Belgium he founded his own consulting firm, Bureau d’Etudes Weinand, which specializes in the intersection between civil engineering, architecture and design. While completing his doctoral thesis he was a scientific collaborator in the department of structures at the Rheinisch Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (RWTH)[6]. In 2001 he became a regular professor at the University of Graz, Austria.
After his appointment 2004 as head of IBOIS[7] at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), timber became his primary material of research and interest. At IBOIS he directs an interdisciplinary group of architects, engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists who perform practical research in the field of timber bib shells, folded timber plate structures, woven timber structures, integral mechanical wood-wood connections, and robot assembled timber structures.
In 2017 the French Ordre de Architectes awarded Yves a medal in technical construction methods.
