*Topic:  **RESTORING THE LANDMARK SKYSCRAPERS: THE CHRYSLER AND EMPIRE 
STATE BUILDINGS__*

* *

*  Speaker:  */Eric Hammarberg, Assoc. AIA, Vice-President, Director of 
Historic Preservation, Thornton-Tomasetti/**

 

This lecture illustrates the engineering difficulties involved in 
restoration work on tall buildings on constrained sites. It contrasts 
the Empire project, which took 16 years, with the fast-track Chrysler 
project, a 2-year project in which various phases of work were performed 
"concurrently" rather than "consecutively." Hammarberg, Project Manager 
for devising the fast-track Chrysler restoration from grade to pinnacle, 
is a board member of the Association for Preservation Technology, 
Northeast Chapter.*__*
