\u201cArchitecture begins where engineering ends.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Walter Gropius\u2019 famous words form only one of a vast array of opinions pertaining to the intersection \u2014 or lack thereof \u2014 of two key professions within the construction industry. Down the years, the relationship between architects and engineers has often been strained: While architects exercise their creative flair and seek to push the built environment to its physical limit, engineers are frequently cast as killjoys, paring designs back for reasons of structural integrity and financial pragmatism.<\/p>\n

The reality, of course, is that members of both professions rely on one another throughout the life of a project, and when their complementary skill sets are combined, some of the world\u2019s most extraordinary buildings emerge. The stunning shells of J\u00f8rn Utzon\u2019s iconic Sydney Opera House were brought to fruition thanks to the architect\u2019s close collaboration with the engineers of Ove Arup. Likewise, it is possible that a certain tower in the heart of Paris may never have left the drawing board if it weren\u2019t for Gustave Eiffel\u2019s carefully detailed design adaptations.<\/p>\n

While their love-hate relationship will undoubtedly continue in perpetuity, the best architects and engineers in the world understand and value one another\u2019s strengths. Beyond those landmarks in Sydney and Paris, here are eight more projects that encapsulate the synthesis between the two professions and prove that for every brilliant building designed by an architect, an engineer has provided a solid foundation:<\/p>\n

Architect: Coop Himmelb(l)au<\/a><\/p>\n

Engineer: Bollinger + Grohmann<\/a><\/p>\n

Austrian firm Coop Himmelb(l)au worked with structural engineers at Bollinger + Grohmann to realize the vast \u201cflying roof\u201d of the Busan Cinema Center. The gargantuan canopy<\/a> \u2014 which houses much of the building\u2019s mixed-use cultural program \u2014 is widely acknowledged as the world\u2019s largest cantilevered architectural structure.<\/p>\n

Architect: Information Based Architecture<\/a><\/p>\n

Engineer: Arup Associates<\/a><\/p>\n

At 2,000 feet tall (610 meters), the twisting Canton Tower currently is the world\u2019s fifth-tallest freestanding structure and forms a distinctive landmark on the skyline of Guangzhou. The torqued steel<\/a> lattice of the building \u2014 nicknamed the \u201cSupermodel\u201d by locals \u2014 was designed by IBA\u2019s Mark Hemel in collaboration with engineering giants Arup.<\/p>\n

Ole Scheeren\u2019s remarkable apartment building comprises a series of huge, multistory volumes stacked in an irregular composition, allowing generous outdoor amenities suited to the tropical climate of Singapore. The large spans necessary for this unusual configuration were delivered in conjunction with Arup\u2019s Beijing office and renowned local firm RSP.<\/p>\n

Engineer: BuroHappold<\/a><\/p>\n

The modular roof panels of Foster + Partners\u2019 new terminal at Queen Alia International Airport were designed in consultation with the structural engineers of international firm BuroHappold. These shallow concrete<\/a> domes and supporting stems \u2014 reminiscent of local palm trees \u2014 possess a natural strength that allows them to be carved with large openings, bringing natural light into the heart of the terminal.<\/p>\n

Engineer: Langan International<\/a> and Thornton Tomasetti<\/a><\/p>\n

Set to surpass the Burj Khalifa<\/a> as the world\u2019s tallest building on completion in 2020, the Kingdom Tower is on the rise thanks to the architects\u2019 close relationship with Langan International \u2014 responsible for sub-grade construction and transportation planning \u2014 and Thornton Tomasetti, consulting on structural engineering for the mega-tall building.<\/p>\n

HOK\u2019s competition-winning design for the Atlanta Falcons\u2019 new home included a retractable roof<\/a> with a difference. Its pinwheel form comprises eight huge ETFE segments \u2014 reminiscent of bird wings \u2014 that slide outward to open up the stadium in fair weather. Currently under construction, the unique roof design is being delivered in collaboration with structural engineering experts from international firm BuroHappold.<\/p>\n

Engineer: Werner Sobek<\/a>, AKT<\/a> and Tuncel Engineers<\/p>\n

The swooping, sculptural skin of the Heydar Aliyev Center constitutes one of Zaha Hadid\u2019s most iconic building envelopes to date. The building\u2019s curvaceous form was largely made possible due to renowned engineering firms Werner Sobek, AKT and Tuncel Engineers, which worked with the architects to develop a steel framework<\/a> that strikes a balance between robust structural integrity and a dynamic, fluid aesthetic.<\/p>\n

Architect: HAL Architects<\/a><\/p>\n

Engineer: Arup Associates<\/a> and Eckersley O\u2019Callaghan<\/p>\n

Currently under construction, the centerpiece of London\u2019s Embassy Gardens development will take aqueous architecture to new heights \u2014 quite literally. HAL Architects has joined forces with Arup Associates, Eckersley O\u2019Callaghan and aquarium designers Reynolds to design the world\u2019s first 100-percent-transparent swimming pool<\/a> between two towers. The 90-foot-long structure will be constructed from eight-inch-thick acrylic panels and looks set to have pedestrians gazing up as much as swimmers will be looking down.<\/p>\n
