| Abstract: |
Innovation is vital in any developing and growing society. It undoubtedly adds value in structural design, but the engineer's appointment needs to be such as to allow it to occur. The issues touched on briefly in this paper, and the four other associated papers, will be debated at the Seminar on this topic at the conference. |
