Iconic architecture doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The realities of gravity, natural forces, budget, and schedule often threaten the delivery of the most ambitious projects. At the heart of every success is deep-rooted collaboration between architects and engineers. The intersection of art and science is where the true magic of the best buildings in the world exists.
Magnusson Klemencic Associates is a structural and civil engineering firm with a long and consistent history of turning dreams into reality. Ron Klemencic, Chairman and CEO of MKA, will share some highlights of recent projects and the extraordinary adventures that accompanied them.
