520 |a Die erste umfassende Würdigung von Louis Kahns und Moshe Safdies Tragwerksplaner Der estnisch-amerikanische Bauingenieur August Komendant (1906-1992) arbeitete zusammen mit zahlreichen berühmten Architekten und Ingenieuren an einigen Ikonen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Beton war über Jahrzehnte Komendants Leidenschaft. Er nutzte sein Fachwissen bei so unterschiedlichen Bauwerken wie der Tribüne des Kadriorg-Stadions in Tallinn, Estland (Elmar Lohk, 1938), dem experimentellen Wohnkomplex Habitat '67 in Montréal, Kanada (Moshe Safdie, 1967) und dem Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, USA (Louis I. Kahn, 1972). Komendant verband Sachkenntnis mit einem ausgeprägten Sinn für Ästhetik: Als Ingenieur schätzte er die zeitlosen und dauerhaften Qualitäten der Architektur. Er wusste, dass es für Wunder mehr braucht als Tabellenkalkulationen und ein Budget - der kreative Impuls ist entscheidend. Einer der fortschrittlichsten Bauingenieure des 20. Jahrhunderts Zusammenarbeit mit Architekten wie Louis I. Kahn, Eero Saarinen und Mosche Safdie Erfinder der Tragwerke für das Salk Institute und Habitat 67 
520 |a The first comprehensive tribute to Louis Kahn's and Moshe Safdie's structural engineer The Estonian-American civil engineer August Komendant (1906–1992) worked with numerous famous architects and engineers on several of the 20th century’s most iconic buildings. Concrete was Komendant’s passion through decades. He used his expertise in designing structures as different as the Kadriorg Stadium grandstand in Tallinn, Estonia (Elmar Lohk, 1938), the Habitat ’67 experimental housing complex in Montréal, Canada (Moshe Safdie, 1967) and the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, USA (Louis I. Kahn, 1972). Komendant combined technical expertise with a keen sense of aesthetics: as an engineer, he valued the timeless and enduring qualities of architecture. He knew that miracles require more than spreadsheets and a budget – the creative impulse is essential. One of the most innovative civil engineers of the 20th century. Specialized in the use of reinforced concrete and various other concrete technologies Structural engineer to architects such as Louis I. Kahn, Moshe Safdie, and Eero Saarinen
