Master Lecture: Erik Verboon and Gustav Fagerström

Erik Verboon is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Walter P Moore's New York office. Trained in both architecture and engineering, Erik specializes in the design of complex and high-performance building envelopes. Erik leverages is experience in digital design, geometric rationalization and environmental analysis in the design of various façade applications including high-performance, double-skin façades, geometrically complex composite façades, and custom unitized enclosures for both new buildings and existing buildings. His portfolio expresses both national and international work with extensive experience in the New York market. Throughout his career, Erik has spent a tremendous amount of time giving back to the profession through teaching enclosure design at several leading universities including Pratt Institute, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, and Stevens Institute of Technology.

Gustav Fagerström is the co-founder and Digital Practice Leader with Walter P Moore New York, where he leads the computational modeling for structural and façade engineering. Specializing in design computation he operates at the intersection of architecture, engineering and computer science. He has practiced with KPF, UNStudio and BuroHappold and has published, given workshops and been on academic juries at architecture and engineering universities worldwide. Work of his has been presented at the Venice Biennale, CAADRIA, ACADIA, FABRICATE and the SmartGeometry conference.
