Fergus Anderson
Trustee
Fergus is an associate in Buro Happold’s UK Sustainability and Physics team. He is motivated by the opportunity to explore the role of the built environment in tackling systemic challenges such as climate and ecological breakdown, widening inequality and declining urban health. Most recently, he led Buro Happold’s work with C40 Cities focused on quantifying the co-benefits of climate action, in turn supporting cities to make the case for bolder and more ambitious action on climate change. Fergus was selected to participate on the UK Green Building Council Future Leader programme in 2019, is a member of Buro Happold’s urban research programme, C:Lab, and is involved in delivering the practice’s Climate Action Plan.
Since joining BuroHappold in 2012 Fergus has had the opportunity to travel across the company, working within various teams and, through meeting a huge number of inspirational individuals along the way, is able to continually learn and challenge himself daily. Today he works as a consultant sitting between our Sustainability and Environment teams. Here he applies his skills to projects at both a building and city scale, his personal highlights including the High Line (New York), Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium (London) and HOME (Manchester).
Fergus has also been a key advocate for ensuring the skills and knowledge of BuroHappold reach those areas and individuals where it is most needed. Notably Fergus was a key member of the team who founded BuroHappold’s Share Our Skills initiative, a team he is still involved with today.
