Poetic Structure: Your Last Chance to See This Exploration of Design + Engineering

Since 1936, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has designed some of the world’s most noteworthy buildings, from the Burj Khalifa in Dubai — the world’s tallest — to Los Angeles’ much-praised concrete and glass federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles.

If you’ve ever wondered how the engineers at SOM plan large-scale buildings and lesser-known public artworks, you’ll want to visit the exhibition “Poetic Structure: Art + Engineering + Architecture” before it closes at the Mak Center on Sunday.
