INNOVATORS
The Engineering and Design of Tall Buildings
July 16, 6:30pm
Museum of the City of New York
1220 5th Street, NYC
 
If the Guastavinos - with their miraculous thin-tile structural vaults - were the building technology innovators of a century ago, who are the innovators of today? As 21st-century skylines continue to rise, architects and engineers must solve an ever-mounting array of design and construction challenges. Join Nadine Post, award-winning journalist and Editor-at-Large for Engineering News-Record, and other leading innovators for a roundtable discussion on how they are tackling the issues presented by buildings that exceed 100 stories. Panelists include architects Rafael Vi�oly, FAIA and Paul Katz, FAIA (Kohn Pedersen Fox), structural engineer Bill Baker (Skidmore, Owings and Merrill), and mechanical engineer Ashok Raiji, Assoc. AIA (ARUP), the visionaries behind some of the tallest buildings in the world.

THIS EVENT IS FREE FOR MUSEUM AND AIA MEMBERS AND STUDENTS
