Structural Engineers Foundation of Washington's fall forum.
I love this forum last year (about the Summit building of Seattle Convention Center).
This time, it's a deep dive of the design and construction of the Overlook Walk at the waterfront.
The speakers are (in order of presentation):
- Peter Steinbrueck gave an overview of the Overlook Walkway project, and the history of Seattle waterfront, with historical photos from late 1800s.
- David Miller (Miller Hulls Architects, talked about the design and change/consideration since the conception of the walkway.
- Andrew Barash (Jacob, the actual project manager of the structural engineering of this project).
- Osama Quotah (LMN architects) on the design of the new aquarium expansion, emphasizes on regional and sustainable design.
- Arash Naderpour (Turner Construction) on aquarium's Ocean Pavilion. Impressive rebar!
One positive comment from all is the collaboration, and discussion throughout (especially before) the project.
One negative comment is too many contractors and sub-contractors, so difficult/slow to coordinate.
