AnnaLisa Meyboom is an engineer and graduate architect focusing on integrated design of engineering in architecture. Her current research and teaching focuses around the integration of engineering and architecture. Current research topics include public infrastructures and responsive environments. In all applications of engineering in our environment, the interaction with people and the integration of the engineering into the environment are becoming increasingly important. This can clearly be seen both in application of digital technologies including robotics and mechatronics to the field of architecture.
Other areas of research involve the use of structural behaviour algorithms in the generation of architectural form. She teaches the architectural structures courses, studios on architectronics, advanced structures and computing seminars and design build courses.
As an architectural student she received the following awards: AIA Henry Adams Medal 2007, RAIC Honour Roll 2007, Ray Cole Award sponsored by Busby and Associates for Sustainable Design in Architecture 2005, Architectural Institute of British Columbia Award for Excellence and Progress in Design, 2004.
