    (Jack) Zunz Was Born in Germany on the 25Th of December 1923

    Citation for the Degree of Doctor of Science in Engineering, honoris causa, Sir Gerhard Jacob Zunz Gerhard Jacob (Jack) Zunz was born in Germany on the 25th of December 1923. His family returned to South Africa while Jack was a young child and after matriculating at the end of 1941, he attended the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (Wits). Jack volunteered for military service in World War II, and from 1943, he interrupted his studies at Wits to join a South African artillery regiment, serving in Egypt and Italy. Although he claims not to be a courageous man, he joined because “my conscious would not forgive me if I didn’t”. On demobilisation in 1946, Jack resumed his studies in the Department of Civil Engineering at Wits and completed his BSc in Engineering as one of the illustrious “class of ’48” (They were mostly ex-servicemen). The degree was formally conferred at a ceremony in March 1949. He commenced work in the steel design and fabrication industry, but soon moved to London where he joined Ove Arup and Partners in 1950. The company, now one of the largest multi- disciplinary engineering design firms in the world, was still in its infancy, but the founder, Ove Arup, recognized the potential of young Jack. In 1954, Jack returned to South Africa to start the South African branch of Ove Arup. The firm was awarded the design of the Sentech Tower, commonly known as the Brixton Tower. This iconic structure on the Johannesburg skyline, which required state-of-the-art engineering in its day, is 237 m high and can resist winds of 200 km/hr, deflecting as much as 2 m without damage.

Not since the advent of structural steel has there been such a dramatic shift in aesthetics, form and construction. The reason for this change in buildings is the recent evolution of computer design, analysis and construction software. Forms that were once impossible to imagine, let alone design and construct, are now possible. Engineers are playing an increasingly important role in this achievement. Of great interest to me as a university instructor teaching design to architectural engineering students, is a comprehensive chart (‘Engineer’s Atlas’) in the AR September issue listing the old and new famous names in Architectural Engineering of the last century. This is the first time that I have come across such a list and it occurred to me that this would be good material to share academically with faculty and students.

Technological change, the search for sustainability and debates around the value of place and meaning of the architectural gesture are aspects which will affect the cities we inhabit.

Designed with architect Jo Coenen & Co, the 28,000m² building includes seven collection fl oors and provides storage area for books, a theatre, a readers’ cafe and a restaurant overlooking the city. Arup was instrumental to the project from the very early stages, providing structural and building services design and specialist lighting advice. We designed a system incorporated into the fl ooring for distributing fresh air to building occupants. The atrium also serves as an outlet for air. The lighting design enhances the spatial experience by creating contrast between the various zones on the large collection fl oors. We also designed an innovative energy system for the library, which was realised through a holistic approach to architecture and engineering.
