Today is Skyscraper Day, a celebration of those iconic tall buildings that shape our skylines. Although first developed more than 100 years ago, skyscrapers continue to be some of the most innovative structures around. With advanced construction methods and eco-friendly materials, they are proving to be some of the most effective and sustainable solutions for urban settings. Whether it’s timber, steel or concrete, with well over five miles of tall, supertall and megatall building designs under our belt, and some of the world’s tallest underway, we’re proud to have contributed to the storied history of the skyscraper. Which are your favorites? Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dbRxVb8G #skyscraperday #skyscraper #highrise #supertall

Thornton Tomasetti is providing structural design, protective design and security, and sustainability and resilience consulting services to architect Foster + Partners for the 54-story tapering supertall tower. The 1.75-million-square-foot building will feature class-A office space, a hotel, retail and dining and a public waterfront terrace. Construction is expected to begin in 2025.

As one of the most seismically active areas in the US, California often experiences a number of earthquakes each year, including a 4.4-magnitude quake that hit Los Angeles and Orange Counties last week. Thornton Tomasetti Principal Leonard Joseph recently spoke with Taylor Torregano of Spectrum News One about designing tall towers, like downtown LA’s Wilshire Grand Center (https://lnkd.in/gEZ9rb_e), to withstand the effects of earthquakes.

Joining forces with Bridges to Prosperity, a team of Thornton Tomasetti Gives Back volunteers last month travelled to Rwanda to construct the Makurungwe trail bridge over the Musogoro River. The 64-meter-long cable-suspended bridge now provides more than 3,000 community members safe, year-round access to markets, schools, healthcare and new opportunities. From construction challenges to daily engagements with the community and local schoolchildren and the joyful inauguration, follow the link in the post below for a recap of the build. #bridgestoprosperity #B2P #volunteering
Where to begin? Last month, my team and I helped build the Makurungwe trail bridge with Bridges to Prosperity as part of the 2024 Thornton Tomasetti Gives Back service project. It’s difficult to summarize an unforgettable two weeks, but this was one of the most rewarding service projects I’ve ever done. Sometimes, I think we all forget to be grateful for the resources available to us, especially when we consider that not everyone has access to clean water or safe passage to school and work. Being part of Bridges to Prosperity reminds us of the larger issues in the world beyond our own personal struggles. The greatest takeaway from this trip for me was the spirit of community. From singing, dancing, magic tricks, and overcoming the language barrier with impressive miming, and a few simple words—the connections we made with everyone on site were absolutely beautiful. The strength, dedication, and jubilation of the Rwandan people was an experience unlike any other, and I’m very grateful to have shared it with my new friends. Learn more about the Makurungwe trail bridge here: https://lnkd.in/efRUnjZ7 We were very lucky to have a wonderful team, an amazing accommodation, and fantastic drivers and liaisons. Overall, the experience was extraordinary. I think anyone, regardless of their engineering background, would benefit from this experience.
