INTRODUCTION

Architecture and engineering are in the midst of a technical revolution. Not since the advent of structural steel has there been such a dramatic shift in aesthetics, form and . The reason for this change in buildings is the recent evolution of computer design, analysis and construction software. Forms that were once impossible to imagine, let alone design and construct, are now possible. Engineers are playing an increasingly important role in this achievement.

Of great interest to me as a university instructor teaching design to architectural engineering students, is a comprehensive chart (‘Engineer’s Atlas’) in the AR September issue listing the old and new famous names in Architectural Engineering of the last century. This is the first time that I have come across such a list and it occurred to me that this would be good material to share academically with faculty and students.

Using this list, the students, T.A.’s and design professors this semester have produced nearly 60 concise research projects - one page documents - that introduce each of these accomplished engineers. Our goal is to provide a collection of introductions that a reader can flip thru quickly to familiarize themselves with the names of individuals and the architectural engineering firms that they founded. Some of the engineers are famous for their philosophical work as well as built work. All have created a legacy and have collectively elevated the respect for the importance of engineering in the design and construction of ambitious buildings.

The “spectacular” routinely featured in RECORD relies more than ever on the ingenuity, creativity, and yes, patience of the contemporary engineer. This species of professional, as much a creation of the modern era as anything else, now occupies a central place at the beginning of the design process, forever transforming how architecture relates to our cities, culture, and ourselves.

I must write a short disclaimer warning that the research in this collection has not been thoroughly cross-checked and verified and I would not be surprised if you find even simple grammatical errors - please forgive us for that. We have assembled this research quickly to broaden your perception of Architectural Engineering. I’m sure that some very important engineers have been left out and I welcome you to correspond with me to provide names of those that you feel should be included or to point out Gregory Brooks, Lecturer any errors that we might correct in the pages. This information is not for commercial use and should only be used for academic Instructor for Architectural Engineering Design 1 & 2 courses purposes.
