  • Historical and Engineering Perspectives from Fazlur Kahn's
    Five Decades of Tall Building Design: Historical and Engineering Perspectives From Fazlur Kahn’s Era to Present Joseph Colaco, NAE President, CBM Engineers Inc. Thursday, September 9, 2010 138 DeBartolo Hall, 3:30pm Dr. Colaco has been involved in major projects starting with the 100 story John Hancock Centre, Chicago in 1965 to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2005. Along the way he worked on the 50 story One Shell Plaza in Houston (the tallest concrete building in the world at the time), and the 75 story Texas Commerce Tower in Houston (the tallest composite building in the USA). He will describe research efforts in the usefulness of curvi‐linear buildings and work on a Mile High Building. Joseph Phillip Colaco is among the leading specialists in tall building structures worldwide. He has made notable contributions to the advancement of the design and construction practice of structural engineering as it applies to tall buildings. He received his B.S./Civil Engineering from the University of Bombay, his M.S./Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois and his Ph.D./Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois. He began his career in 1965 with the consulting firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in Chicago, where he worked on the 100‐story steel John Hancock Building in Chicago and the 50‐story reinforced concrete One Shell Plaza in Houston, Texas. Since 1975, Colaco has been the president of CBM Engineers, Inc., in Houston, Texas. He has done the conceptual design of 50 major building projects. Colaco is a member of the National Academy of Engineers, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and the American Concrete Institute.

  • Heat and Light Thematised in the Modern Architecture of Houston
    703 The Journal of Architecture Volume 16 Number 5 Heat and light thematised in the modern architecture of Houston Michelangelo Sabatino Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture, University of Houston, 122 College of Architecture Bldg, Houston, Texas, TX 77204-4000, USA Mid-twentieth-century modern architecture in Houston thematised responsiveness to the natural phenomena of heat and light despite the fact that Houston’s most celebrated modern buildings were designed to be completely reliant on central air-conditioning. An examination of Houston buildings constructed from the late 1940s through the 1960s demonstrates the ways in which modern architects sought to privilege the architectural rec- ognition of regional climatic difference while also employing modern technology to allevi- ate local climatic extremes of heat and humidity. The spectacular modern buildings that represent this era in Houston raise crucial questions: How did architects reconcile the doc- trine of climatic responsiveness to the equally modern desire for maximum transparency? What proved more compelling: responsiveness to local circumstance or the imperatives of modern structural and mechanical engineering? Did modern architects perceive that there might be contradictions between responsiveness to climate and other aspects of modern architectural identity, such as transparency? Because concern about the roles of building design and construction in the responsible use of natural resources is current at the turn of the twenty-first century, it is pertinent to examine the ways modern architects in a particular climatic setting negotiated the issue of climatic responsiveness as modern architecture became the dominant practice. Introduction States during the post-war period strenuously ques- Twentieth-century modern architecture was ident- tioned the universalising claims of the modern ified with an exploration of innovative building movement by investigating regional building prac- materials and rationalised planning and construc- tices that registered material and climatic differ- tion practices.

  • Workshop on Steel Research Needs for Buildings
    PUBLICATIONS A11107 S51757 of Standards NafioSai Bureau CQO Library NBS SPECIAL PUBLICATION Oc^O JUL 3 1 1985 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE /National Bureau of Standards A Workshop on STEEL RESEARCH NEEDS FOR BUILDINGS J m he National Bureau of Standards' was established by an act of Congress on March 3, 1901. The g[ Bureau's overall goal is to strengthen and advance the nation's science and technology and facilitate their effective application for public benefit. To this end, the Bureau conducts research and provides: (1) a basis for the nation's physical measurement system, (2) scientific and technological services for industry and government, (3) a technical basis for equity in trade, and (4) technical services to promote public safety. The Bureau's technical work is performed by the National Measurement Laboratory, the National Engineering Laboratory, the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology, and the Center for Materials Science. The National Measurement Laboratory Provides the national system of physical and chemical measurement; • Basic Standards^ coordinates the system with measurement systems of other nations and • Radiation Research furnishes essential services leading to accurate and uniform physical and • Chemical Physics chemical measurement throughout the Nation's scientific community, in- • Analytical Chemistry dustry, and commerce; provides advisory and research services to other Government agencies; conducts physical and chemical research; develops, produces, and distributes Standard Reference Materials; and provides
