Senior Engineer Andy Rastetter talks about our innovative bridge designs at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, and the custom connections that will allow the bridges to experience significant movement in the event of an earthquake.
The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures- located in the historic May Company Building in the Miracle Mile neighborhood of Los Angeles - will be the world’s premier institution devoted to exploring the art and science of movies and moviemaking. Designed by Pritzker-Prize winning architect Renzo Piano, the museum will consist of a major renovation to the 1930s Streamline Moderne May Company Building (renamed the Saban Building) plus a soaring spherical addition that will house a 1,000-seat theater. Visitors to the museum will experience the magic of cinema and the creative, collaborative process of filmmaking.
