Engineering with             Creativity Janet Kuypers 9/3/19, on National Skyscraper Day I’ve lived with a long lineage of builders, it’s in our blood. We instinctively want to crane our heads, look up to the stars — because even though we don’t have wings, we want to master what’s high. I know that slave labor historically stacked rocks to make the global monuments we revere today. And the artistically inclined may prefer music or art to share — and sure, those things give humanity life, but some of us also like the skyscrapers that no artist could attain just by sharing art. It takes a mix of the engineering mind with creativity to make something that everyone right now can on some levels admire, whether it is for offices or for a phenomenal view. And that, trust me, will last.
