Wh are some famous Architectural Engineers, and what did they work on, like famous building/bridge did they work on?!
ALSO what architectural engineers help w/ THE ST LOUIS ARCH... GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE... and SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE?
there will be a best answerFamous Architectural Engineers?!?
Dudes - There is a difference, a big one, between an Architect and an Architectural Engineer (or Structural Engineer). Architects draw pretty pictures (like the Chiffoneer building by the Target Teapot guy, Micheal Graves), and Engineers do the math and design work necessary to make the building constructible, and stand up against the necessary loads, in addition to putting on the necessary hooks and hangers and dingly danglies necessary for all the architectural embellishment to hang from or be attached to.
FLW is NOT an Architectural Engineer.
As for the Golden gate bridge - you're looking for David Steinman, see "Engineers of Dreams" - Henry Petroski.
Other bridge enginers - Gustav Lindenthal, Othmar Omman, to name two. See Petroski's book for more.
Citibank building - New York - Bill LeMesurier.
Sears Tower - Fazlur Khan (although I believe he was an architect)
i would say prof. hardy cross. prof. hardy cross invented the moment distribution method which simplified structural analysis. there were no personal computer then. yet he designed the tacoma bridge which failed due to aero dynamic load which wasn't anticipated by professional engineer of his time.Famous Architectural Engineers?!?
