Updated Interview Questions

  • Since 9-11, what (architectural/engineering) changes have been made in skyscraper design and construction?
  • Where does the United States stand in the innovation of terrorism safety features in skyscraper design?
  • As updated construction methods are used for newer buildings, what are some methods being used or considered to make existing skyscrapers safer?
  • In what ways have (architects/structural engineers) worked together to improve safety in skyscraper design?
  • The further we move from 9-11 has pressure to innovate increased or decreased? What areas of skyscraper design and safety remain important issues to explore?

I am not sure what order I will ask the questions yet, but I am certain I will start with the first question.

First interviews:

  • AIA
  • Structural Engineering Association of New York
  • National Council of Structural Engineers Associations
