Sean Lally speaks with Sheila Jasanoff about ‘Ethics of Invention’ for episode 94 of Night White Skies

Archinect

Architects share as much in common with science fiction authors as we do with the engineers whose tools we so often emulate. Making a Venn diagram of the disciplines that overlap with architecture shows just how much of what we do comes down to being able to synthesize the diversity of knowledge on our periphery.

This neglect can be a result of a misalignment of priorities, poor communication among the members of the design team (architects and their engineers too often work in separate silos), or simply a lack of knowledge and experience on the part of the architects. Engineering is not one thing and design another.

Working with Miyamoto International for structural engineering services, our team’s solution employed a cost-effective and reliable system of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strips added at critical locations to assist in the transference of lateral forces. The building's lift-slab system was partially blamed for the severity of the collapse.

Building for the Pacific Northwest

If you charted the AEC industry as a Venn diagram, CSI would be located precisely where the intersection of all the sets occurs.
