cecil balmond is a structural engineer. he has pushed some of the world's most amazing architects and artists (rem koolhaas, toyo ito, anish kapoor, etc) to create projects nobody would have thought possible. they're gorgeous. one of my favorite things about balmond's projects is how giant pieces of material are made to look so light and friendly while still being completely perplexing structures. his projects look physically impossible. also, he knew fela kuti!
