Naval architect, Stephen Payne, designer of the Queen Mary 2, said (at a talk given to the Institution of Engineers in Scotland in 2020). "When designing a cruise liner, the regulations represent the starting point for my safety assessment. The Titanic met the then current regulations." Hundreds of people might drown if a passenger liner was lost at sea. There are equivalent risks in structural design e.g. for a long span bridge or the roof of a sports stadium. Use of the principle that the ''starting'' point for design should be the regulations should be adopted in all strutural designs. This requires [[critical thinking]] by all participants. | Naval architect, Stephen Payne, designer of the Queen Mary 2, said (at a talk given to the Institution of Engineers in Scotland in 2020).
