Trevor Scott, Lightweight Structures Designer
Hi, I'm Trevor Scott & I design lightweight tensile fabric bowling green covers. It's more than a job for me. It’s been my passion since 1992. I love the technology, the creative process & the construction.
My skill set is unique. With a background in mechanical design, customised steel and hydraulic componentry I have a high degree of competency in all facets of design technologies.
With a Masters qualification in Lightweight Structure Design, issued through the University of Vienna, I’ve been exposed to architects and engineers that have worked through the evolution of the Tensile Membrane form from pen and paper beginnings to the technology-driven 21st Century.
I’ve studied with Frei Otto disciples, Horst Durr, Jurgen Hennicke, Vinzenz Sedlak, Rainer Blum and Robert Wehdron-Roithmayr.
My abilities are reflected in my portfolio of award winning structures including the Wide Span Fabric Structure, Qld, Australia for which I developed a leaning arch configuration to create a unique ridge and valley roof profile – IFAI outstanding achievement 2012 and YAS Island, Abu Dhabi, UAE – LSAA Excellence Award 2011.
