'Spatial Structures; Movers and Shakers' - with William F. Baker:In our latest 'Spatial Structures; Movers and Shakers' interview, we speak with William (Bill) Baker, who is a structural engineering consulting partner at SOM where he has led the structural engineering practice for over 20 years. Bill is perhaps best known for the development of the “buttressed core” structural system for the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest manmade structure. Bill is a Fellow of both the ASCE and the IStructE, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering and an International Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. He is also a member of the Industrial Committee for the 2021 conference and in 2019 was the recipient of the Torroja medal from the IASS.
