Sr. Structural Engineer
Anders Carlson is a licensed structural engineer with over 20 years of experience in design of steel, concrete, composite, and light framed wood structures. His work has encompassed a broad range of project types including civic, educational, healthcare, office, retail, government, and residential. Project sizes have ranged from sculptures to highrises. He has worked on notable projects such as Koolhaas’ Seattle Public Library, Libeskind’s Hamilton Building of the Denver Art Museum, the investigation of the collapse of WTC-7 and the first buckling restrained braced frame building in the United States.
Anders has a PhD in Civil Engineering from Caltech researching damage to tall steel moment frame buildings due to the Northridge Earthquake and is also an Assistant Professor in the USC School of Architecture. He is engaged with multi-disciplinary work exploring: seismic sustainability, structural optimization in parametric design, and prefabricated construction that address performance of buildings, design of buildings and construction of buildings, respectively. In each of these research areas, his approach is to use innovative analytical tools and methodologies to improve decision making and performance of built systems.
