Leaning Out and Looking Back with Les Robertson
In celebration of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat’s 50th anniversary and in association with its historic 10th World Congress, the CTBUH is pleased to be hosting the Chicago premiere of the documentary "Leaning Out."
CAC members are invited to register for the event at the CTBUH member price of $15. A special discount code will be shared with CAC members via email.
"Leaning Out" provides a look at the life and achievements of Leslie E. Robertson, former CTBUH Chairman and lead structural engineer of the original World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York City. The film explores Robertson’s involvement in the World Trade Center project—both before and after the horrific attacks of 9/11—while documenting his personal journey as master engineer, dedicated activist and devoted partner.
The evening will feature a screening of the documentary and Q&A session with Les & his partner, renowned structural engineer SawTeen See. Chicago Chapter of the CTBUH Chair Shelley Finnigan, Global Technical Sales Engineer, Head of Technical Sales & Marketing for the Americas, ArcelorMittal, will moderate this session. This will be followed by a networking reception featuring hors d’oeuvres and an open beer and wine bar.
This event is being ticketed by CTBUH, and more information is available on their website.
