The charismatic architect/ engineer and founder of the Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK) passed the ILEK managerial baton to his student Lucio Blandini in the spring of 2020. After more than 25 years of building up the Institute, Sobek will still be continuing his research and academic teaching roles at Stuttgart University, as well as acting as spokesman of the Collaborative Research Centre SFB 1244 until the end of the year. Prof. Dr. Blandini worked on his doctorate at ILEK, for which he constructed the iconic Stuttgart Glass Shell (‘Glashaus’) After studying architecture in the USA, Blandini returned to Stuttgart where he has been a board member of the Werner Sobek design company since 2018. 1 PRESS RELEASE Pioneering research and development in the design and construction of the man- made environment – whilst ensuring sustainability and keeping energy and material consumption to a minimum – have become synonymous with ILEK under the leader- ship of Werner Sobek. The same objectives will continue to define the future direc- tion of the Institute under its new management.

This Autumn the company will celebrate its 25th year of operation. From 3 to 300: the international Werner Sobek Group was founded in 1992 as a 3-person business and has since grown to become a global player, with services delivered by over 300 employees in countires throughout the world. The name Werner Sobek is shared by the company founder - a pioneer in the field of enginee- ring, design and sustainability - with the company itself, which is represented with a wide variety of planning projects in eight global locations: Stuttgart, Buenos Aires, Dubai, Frankfurt, Istanbul, London, Moscow and New York. The Werner Sobek company headquarters are located in the city of Stuttgart, Germany. Outstanding achievements in the fields of skyscraper, structural and façade design have won Werner Sobek great international recognition – always with a firm focus on sustainability and the minimization of energy and material consumption. The company’s latest project is the newly-inaugurated ThyssenKrupp Test Tower, with its delicate fiberglass mesh façade. The highly-complex material protects the Test Tower from sunlight and windy con- ditions. The façade construction also features very powerful aesthetics with a delicate, precise and almost poetic charm, qualities which are always important to Sobek, who is both architect and engineer.

A highly engineered product, glass has emerged in a new light as an apparently culturally accepted material in design and construction. Its new incarnation, however, reveals a virtually new product replacing the glass used even twenty years ago. The innovations are observable and have direct use. Offering new modes of visual pleasure and spatial experience to building occupants—glass has also been the beneficiary of major advances in engineering that are decidedly less visible—structural innovations, new control and design engineering at the level of optics, thermal properties, and expanded fabrication limits as well as installation methods have quietly reconfigured the extent and reach of glass applications. We are so continually surrounded by such discretely functioning glass that we do not even see it. This interdisciplinary conference aims to bring an ordinarily extraordinary material back before our eyes.

The freshly-inaugurated Futurium building in the Spreebogen district of Berlin features groundbreaking architecture and innovative levels of sustainability. During certification for sustainable construction according to the German BNB system, the building achieved the highest score ever awarded and the best possible rating for material ecology. WSGreenTechnologies, a Werner Sobek Group company, was on board the project from day one as specialist planner and advisor. “A comprehensive and holistic approach to planning is crucial for the successful realization of such a special building”, according to company founder, Professor Dr. Werner Sobek. Penned by Berlin architects Richter Musikowski, Futurium was opened in autumn 2017.

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.
