If you aren't paying attention, you may miss one of the most beautiful museums ever built. Not because it's plain, but because in plainly blends in.
That's redefining what is possible in construction.

When you're dangling off a spire at 1,700 ft, you quickly realize it's not so much about the height as it is the attention to little details.

And that's why I love construction. The height makes it iconic. The details make it possible.

Riddle me this: how does one build a “living” building?

That’s exactly what Georgia Tech did with the Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design.

Here's a story for you the next time someone asks to "value engineer" the project.
They cut the foundations of the Tower of Pisa to just 3 m to save time and money. Yeah, that worked out.

It’s week one! Do you know the story behind the construction of your favorite college stadium?

Unlike the pros, these stadiums are iconic & full of tradition.

Atlantis called… it wants its chief architect back.

Tucked along Norway’s rugged southern coast sits a quaint little joint known as Under. As in Europe’s first underwater restaurant.

Prove me wrong: The best view of a project is from the cab of the tower crane.

History. Character. Charm.
There are many words used to define beloved stadiums that have stood the test of time. So how do you renovate an icon without ruining it?
Wrigley wasn't just reinvented. It was respected.

It's one thing to build a giant, state-of-the-art entertainment ball in the middle of the desert. It's another thing entirely to keep it cool.

I thought I knew all about coolest stadium in the world, having followed closely the design and construction. Boy did I have a lot to learn.

SoFi isn’t just a stadium, it's truly something the world has never seen before.

You will never see it, but the tallest buildings are also some of the deepest in the world.

Foundations matter, both in buildings and in the people who build them.

Some projects change skylines. Others change nations.
But did you know this iconic crack was actually a design flaw?

Construction doesn’t just build structures…

It builds history.

It was the fulfillment of a life-long dream. That's right, I got into construction because I wanted to build stadiums.

Not bridges. Not office buildings. Stadiums.

You ever experienced a rough landing? Now imagine that rough landing, only sideways.
To make this runway safer, engineers extended it 1,000 m on 180 pillars nearly 70 m tall.

Many legacies aren’t built in boardrooms, they're built in vests & hard hats.

Buildings may get the headlines. But builders? They get the legacy.

Ever notice that the Washington Monument is two different colors?
Ever wonder why?
There was a long pause because they ran out of money.
Imagine the government pausing because they ran out of money today. 🤔

No harness. No net. Just don't look down...

Today, we’d never let a worker hang out like this without fall protection (a good thing), but let’s not forget the guts it took to bring many of our skylines to life.

So this just happened...
Almost 20 years after visiting the Skyway Project as an intern, I was able to cross the completed bridge.
Still looks brand new.

This may be one of the more controversial projects in modern NYC.
The Vessel is a defiant celebration of design. Then 4 lives were lost to suicide. Never forget who we’re building for.

Could you handle working over 2,000 feet above the Earth's Crack if this was your daily view?
Set to open in June 2025, the Huajiang Canyon Bridge will be the tallest bridge in the world!

They built the UK’s tallest tower. 6 months later, the walls started falling off. What happened next is a masterclass in modern construction innovation, replacing the failing exterior with #solar innovation.

A little over 100 years ago, ground broke on the first seven-figure project in the State of Nebraska.
The Livestock Exchange Building broke ground on November 14, 1924 as the first ever construction project to be over $1M in Nebraska.

It's arguably the most beautiful bridge in America that no one knows about, but could you imagine building this without a crane?

It is easy to look at a picture of a bunch of folks on a beam 100s of meters in the sky and talk about how brave they were back then, but what about when they're 100 meters below ground?
