There is a fascinating exhibit currently underway at the Skyscraper Museum in New York City. The Vertical Urban Factory is an examination of the crossroads of engineering and architecture in the factory world. It celebrates some unsung engineers whose dedication to speed and efficiency had a significant affect on the productivity of these structures.
The exhibit is a collaboration of curator Nina Rappaport and partners Studio Tractor Architects, MGMT Design and filmmaker Eric Breitbart and is ongoing until June 2011.
