Eric Elsesser
ERIC ELSESSER is a native San Franciscan and has spent 50 years studying and designing creative structures. He graduated from Stanford University in 1955 with a B.S. degree and followed with an M.S. degree in 1956. He started his career with John Blume in San Francisco and opened his own structural design office in 1960. His office, Forell/Elsesser Engineers, has had a keen interest in the seismic behavior of buildings and has completed over 2,500 structures. Since 1970 he has lectured at Berkeley, Stanford, and at over 100 earthquake sites, throughout the world discussing the seismic behavior of structures. His first special interest was the structural configuration of buildings. This was followed by new structural systems which will dissipate seismic energy yielding limited damage to buildings. This has lead to thinking of buildings as sustainable with minimum post-earthquake damage, which can be called "seismic green buildings." He was awarded an honorary membership in the Structural Engineers Association after years of creative structural design.
