This meeting is OFF THE RECORD |
EVENT OVERVIEW:
The recent scandal centered around the integrity of structural
calculations performed by First Class Architect Hidetsugu
Aneha is spreading like wild fire and causing lots of people
to have second thoughts about the buildings they occupy. To
most of us, planning, designing and building a steel and concrete
structure is a mystery. However, most of us also live and/or
work in them. Join the Architecture, Construction and Engineering
Committee for a lively panel discussion among experts from
academia to hands-on construction on the current state of
affairs, including the Director of the Building Guidance Division
of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Mr.
Tomoyoshi Ogawa.
Michael P. King and Kevyn Johnson, Co-Chairs |
