On Wednesday, June 5, SOM and Arquine will host a panel discussion on architecture and engineering collaborations to celebrate the final week of "SOM: Art + Engineering + Architecture," an exhibition presented at the historic Colegio de San Ildefonso in Mexico City. The exhibition is presented in collaboration with MEXTRÓPOLI, an architecture and urbanism festival organized by Arquine.
The panel discussion focuses on the unique collaborative process between architects and engineers—a theme illustrated through models, drawings, and ephemera in the exhibition. Comprised of leading architects and engineers from SOM, the panel will discuss how interdisciplinary collaborations can inform new ideas for architectural projects. The panel will highlight the ways in which engineers and architects practice a poetry of inquiry, experimentation, and ingenuity.
The panel will be moderated by Miquel Adrià, Director of Arquine. Panelists include William F. Baker, structural engineering partner at SOM, and renowned architect Tatiana Bilbao.
