DEGREE OF FREEDOM ENGINEERS is an international civil and structural engineering practice based in Oslo and Valencia, with a focus on high quality architecture. We enjoy working with innovative architects who challenge gravity and the engineer's creativity.We have extensive experience in bridges, footbridges and complex buildings. We develop optimized structural systems which are achieved by a close interaction between the creative design process and the most advanced analysis techniques. Our structural solutions employ traditional materials like steel and reinforced concrete, technological materials, like glass, membranes and compostes and natural, ecological materials, like wood, bamboo and earth-bricks.
