Over the last two decades, James O'Callaghan has pushed the development of glass as a structural material, exploring its behaviour and its limits in creating ambitious, transparent structures.

In his address, he describes the leaps that have been made with glass, examining the close relationship between engineering and fabrication; a relationship that James believes is fundamental to the success of any engineering innovation.

Close collaboration between industry and research institutes continues to drive technological advances, and James looks at the exciting possibilities and how these advances could deal with challenges facing the discipline.
