A $798-million Dallas highway project improved traffic flow into and out of the city’s downtown. The new “Horseshoe” interchange corrected the traffic bottlenecks and safety concerns of the original design from the 1960s with improved geometry, wider bridges, and relocated exits.

Looking to accommodate excess flows from the Los Angeles Aqueduct, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power turned to the Maclay Highline, a dormant system once used to convey water from the aqueduct to the outer reaches of Los Angeles. After an inspection discovered significant damage to the system, the department conducted extensive repairs to enable the Maclay Highline to be returned to service when needed.

Once a grain silo complex consisting of a working house and storage annex for the processing of grain and other products, the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa and the Silo Hotel are the products of a unique vision by the architect, design innovation by the engineers, and a leap of faith by the client. Completed in 2017 at a cost of £30 million, the new complex pays homage to Cape Town, South Africa’s history and culture.
