Cecil Balmond This features the work of Cecil Balmond, an internationally renowned designer, structural engineer, author and Deputy Chairman of the multi-disciplinary engineering firm Arup. His interest lies in the genesis of form using numbers, music and mathematics as vital sources. His commitment to architecture and design has led to successful collaborations with major international architects. Currently working with Koolhaas on the Concert Hall project in Porto and on the CCTV Headquarters building in Beijing and with Daniel Libeskind on the World Trade Centre. Lectures and teaches at various architectural schools include: the Harvard Graduate School of Architecture, Yale University School of Architecture, and University of Pennsylvania developing a radical programme on the generation of form.
