The Structural Engineer, Volume 69, Issue 21, 1991
Bill Curtin at 70 is still as youthful, vigorous, and impatient, as when I first met him 30 years ago. He still spills over with enthusiasm. G. Shaw
At this time I am very conscious not only of the great honour bestowed on me by the Institution but also of the nature of the tasks that lie ahead during my period of office as your President. I take over at a time when the construction industry is anything but buoyant and thus the problems multiply and the challenges grow apparently sterner. However, this makes it especially opportune now to look ahead and plan for the future; I am still able to look forward with pleasure to the year ahead and to the support and friendship which can be relied on from the membership of this Institution. Professor A.R. Cusens
This month's letters cover legislation for design checks, embodied carbon of modular construction approaches, and assessment of masonry buildings for earthquake resilience in New Zealand.
