h GRANDAwARDs Hearst Headquarters, New York, N.Y. WSP Cantor Seinuk—New York, N.Y. Situated within the frame of a 1928 landmark art deco building, the new 46-story Hearst Headquarters is a glass and steel icon of engineering innovation. The new facility incorporates the original six-story art deco concrete facade, while adding a majestic 600foot-tall tower in the center. The project team incorporated a diagrid structural system—the first high-rise building in North America to use the unique network of triangulated trusses with multiple paths to support horizontal and vertical loads. The project is the first New York City building to receive the Gold LEED-certified rating for core and shell interiors, and exemplifies balance of form and structure, preservation of heritage and the environment, and advancement of engineering design. h Seattle Green Roof Evaluation Project, Seattle, Wash. Magnusson Klemencic Associates, Inc.—Seattle, Wash. Compelling results from a unique test project show that “green roofs” are an effective tool in mitigating storm water. During an 18-month test of green roof plots in Seattle, which included a record-breaking month of rainfall, between 69 and 93 percent of the rainwater was absorbed and prevented from becoming measurable runoff. The project proved that green roofs can effectively use vegetation and other natural elements to attenuate storm water atop buildings, rather than allowing it to reach the ground and burden municipal infrastructures. The innovative application of engineering will propel the use of green roofs as an important storm water management tool. h The Louisville Metro Hazard Information Portal, Louisville, Ky. Fuller, Mossbarger, Scott & May Engineers, Inc.— Louisville, Ky. In response to Louisville’s number one natural disaster threat— flooding—the new Hazard Information Portal, or HazMap, provides life-saving flood risk and management information at the touch of a keyboard. The web-based HazMap integrates information technology with state-of-the-art assessment tools and the Geographic Information System to help users coordinate pre-disaster planning and flood mitigation efforts. The program details flood mapping, floodplain determination and specific at-risk areas, and serves as an effective preventative tool to aid Louisville’s flood management efforts.
