Meet Carrie
Carrie Tam is a structural engineer at Arup with a background in computational design, BIM workflows, and early-stage structural systems. She holds an M.S. from Stanford and a B.S. in Civil Engineering and Architecture from Northeastern.
Her work bridges technical design and digital tools, with experience spanning major infrastructure projects and an AI-based construction tech startup. She’s especially interested in how structure, geometry, and software can work together to shape better buildings.
The Cove
Below is a photograph of a performing arts education center designed in Providence, Rhode Island. The Cove is on a waterfront location and was detailed and presented as an undergraduate structural engineering capstone project with the Bayside Engineering team at Northeastern University. The project explores how organic architectural forms can be constructed using steel frames.
Goal
T.A.M.S.
​
T.A.M.S. stands for Temporary Apartments Made for Shelter; my goal is to create a warm and welcoming homelessness response shelter where residents can temporarily dwell if they are between homes. This will likely be a lifelong project towards which I'd like to apply the education and experience I gain over time.
