Minimizing the carbon footprint of bridges and...

January 10, 2025

Awed as a young child by the majesty of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, civil engineer and MIT Morningside Academy for Design (MAD) Fellow Zane Schemmer has retained his fascination with bridges: what they look like, why they work, and how they’re designed and built. He weighed the choice between architecture and engineering when heading off to college, but, motivated by the why and how of structural engineering, selected the latter.

January 9, 2025

In 2018, when Inc. Magazine named Boston one of the country’s top places to start a business, it highlighted one significant reason: Boston is an innovation hub for products and services catering toward the aging population.

J Ward Museum in Ararat, Australia

January 9, 2025

This high-level security prison in regional Victoria once held criminals and those said to be criminally insane. Although decommissioned in 1991, haunting tours reveal that perhaps not everyone has left the building. Opened in 1861 in response to crimes on the nearby goldfields, the gaol housed a number of prisoners and executions, before turning into the Ararat Lunatic Asylum in 1886. Paintings of sailing ships on the stone walls reveal an artistic side to the inmate’s lives. Meanwhile, markings on other……

Misspelling at the Lincoln Memorial in...

January 9, 2025

Built from 1914 to 1922, the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., stands as the iconic result of the work of designer Henry Bacon and and sculptor Daniel Chester French, along with his assistant Evelyn Beatrice Longman. When carving into stone—including Colorado Yule marble, from which the Lincoln Memorial is made—it becomes very difficult to correct any mistakes. Take, for example, the misspelled word in Lincoln’s second inaugural address inscription, located on the north wall of the monument’s interior. If……
