In this Futurebuild podcast, host Martin Hurn is joined by Diego Padilla-Philipps—Director of Decarbonisation and Innovation for Building Structures at WSP. A structural engineer by trade, Diego has led landmark projects like 22 Bishopsgate and is driving WSP’s mission to halve emissions by 2030.

 

He shares how AI and multi-objective optimisation are transforming the design process—breaking down silos, testing thousands of options, and flipping the industry’s “journey of disappointment” into the productisation of buildings.
