Today marks 23 years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001. As we honor the memory of the lives lost, we also reflect on the resilience and strength of our nation—especially within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries. In the aftermath of that day, the AEC community was called to a higher purpose: to rebuild, to restore, and to shape a future where innovation, safety, and collaboration stand at the forefront. From the development of the new World Trade Center to enhanced building codes and security measures, we’ve seen how the AEC sector can drive progress and renewal, even in the face of immense loss. As we move forward, we continue to embrace this spirit of resilience. The structures we create today reflect not just technical prowess, but a collective determination to protect, innovate, and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come. While we build the future, we will never forget the sacrifice of those who perished and the courage of the heroes who responded. #NeverForget #Architecture #Engineering #Construction #Resilience #911 #AECCommunity #Rebuild #Honor #FutureForward

🌆 The emergence of Building Information Modeling in the global architecture, engineering, construction, and operation industry has been a significant development over the past 2 decades. 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙮 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙛 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘼𝘿𝘽𝙄: adbi.me/4gcHGil

Civiltech’s Jennifer Hyman, P.E., and Phillip Hutchinson, PLA, LEED AP, lead a breakout session at the 110th Annual Transportation and Highway Engineering (THE) Conference, held February 27 and 28 in Champaign, IL. Jen and Phil together with CDOT’s David Miller and IDOT’s Kimberly Murphy presented, “Overview of the North DuSable Lake Shore Drive Phase I Study.” The presentation included the history and importance of the corridor, major project components, and the transformational opportunities that the project creates. It also provided a summary of community and stakeholder outreach efforts, as well as an update on project costs, construction, funding, and schedule. Kimberly opened the presentation with an introduction and overview. Jen then covered the history of the corridor and highlighted current safety and design deficiencies and challenges. She also presented overall project goals and shared information on the shoreline modeling. Phil walked through existing and proposed renderings illustrating existing challenges and proposed solutions. Phil included both aerial and pedestrian eye-level perspectives for discussion of the user experience. Dave then summarized the critical and involved public engagement efforts and spoke on project funding, costs, and the anticipated project schedule.

Four local architects talk about how to handle the I-37 barrier.

As we head into the weekend, it’s a good moment to reflect on the key decisions facing us in the upcoming ACT election. In collaboration, Engineers Australia Engineers Australia Canberra Division, the Planning Institute of Australia, the Australian Institute of Architects (ACT Chapter), and the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) have come together to put forward a unified voice on critical issues shaping our future. This joint effort emphasises the importance of planning, design, and engineering in creating a sustainable, resilient, and thriving community. Our collective asks focus on policies that prioritise sustainable urban development, infrastructure that serves the needs of all Canberrans, and a clear commitment to climate-responsive design and construction practices. #engineersaustraliacanberradivision #AILA #PIA #AIA #EACBR

😎 1999 must have been a great time in Berkeley, California, especially among those attending the 7th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction. +30 papers published! Cynthia C.Y. Tsao, Ph.D., we need to catch up soon. 🤓 Here are some 💎 that got my attention with some snippets. WHAT IS LEAN CONSTRUCTION - 1999 Gregory A. Howell "Lean construction much like current practice has the goal of better meeting customer needs while using less of everything. But unlike current practice, lean construction rests on production management principles, the “physics1 ” of construction. The result is a new project delivery system that can be applied to any kind of construction but is particularly suited for complex, uncertain, and quick projects." Papers I'm doing a deeper dive into include: The Dark Side of Lean Construction: Exploitation and Ideology by Stuart D. Green Bringing Light to the Dark Side of Lean Construction: A Response to Stuart Green by Gregory A. Howell & Glenn Ballard See what else was published that year at https://lnkd.in/gVTCqzPS.

NEWS: It's now been nearly 2 weeks since the 2024–25 FEDERAL BUDGET was announced.
