Keynote Presentation by Ron Klemencic, P.E., S.E., Hon AIA.

“You can see the FUTURE standing on top of a tall building!  (Well, almost)”

Tall buildings have always challenged our imaginations and pushed technology toward new advancements. Since the early 1960s, the unique challenges posed by the design and construction of tall towers has inspired new ways of thinking and new materials, engineering methods, and construction techniques. Today, with towers of unprecedented geometry, slenderness, and height spread around the globe, the velocity of advancement has never been greater.

Looking back at what history has taught us provides some clues as to what the future might hold. In his presentation, Ron Klemencic will set the scene by reviewing some of the key advancements of the past, summarize current state-of-the-art practices, and will provide a peek at what the future might hold.
