Eric Long’s interdisciplinary approach to structural engineering is driven by deep curiosity and determination to create simple, elegant structural systems. These solutions often become architecture. With a keen focus on finding collaborative opportunities in design and applying SOM’s latest research, he devises new ideas in design and construction that ultimately result in ease of execution. His broad project experience includes work in regions of high seismicity around the world at all scales, from tall towers to embassies, cathedrals, libraries, museums, and works of art. As a Partner at SOM, Eric is committed to elevating the field of architecture and structural engineering through teaching integrated architectural studio class, focusing on the creative collaboration of architecture and structural engineering.
