Eleftherios (Lefteris) Karpozilos joined our London office as a project engineer back in January of this year. Since then he has become a permanent and very welcomed addition to our team.
He hails from Thessaloniki in Greece, where his father is also a structural engineer, thus giving Lefteris valuable insight, experience and inspiration whilst studying in ‘one of the most earthquake-active countries in the world.‘
He says ‘I developed an interest in understanding how buildings can be designed to resist ground movement, particularly in taller structures. [I’m] fascinated by the remarkable ability of buildings and structures to stand tall and support enormous loads without being visibly affected.’
‘What drives me even further in my work is the lasting impact of the structures I design. Knowing that the buildings and infrastructure I contribute to are designed with a lifespan of at least 50 years is incredibly rewarding. The thought that a part of my work will stand the test of time, supporting people and communities for decades to come, continues to fuel my passion for the profession.‘
