6 guest speaker i David Lambert PE ARUP David is a member of the structural engineering team in the Arup Los Angeles Office. Since joining the firm in 2008, he has been a part of multidisciplinary teams on projects ranging from art installations, education facilities, performing arts centers, and museums on the local, national and international level. He is also an active member of a community within the firm advising and consulting on charitable development projects throughout the world. During his studies at Cal Poly, David developed an interest in appropriate building technologies in developing countries with seismic hazards. This interest evolved into numerous research projects, experiments and several volunteer service tours in rural East Africa where he has designed new buildings, rehabilitated existing structures and supervised construction for various charitable organizations. David s continuing specialization and experience in developing countries is highlighted by his involvement with The Mbesese Initiative for Sustainable Development, a non-profit organization taking a multidisciplinary approach to reduce poverty in rural East Africa. 6
