Market roof caves in, killing 56 Feb. 24.
Around the world, roofs are collapsing in public buildings. This Moscow tragedy has the same characteristics as the recent collapse of Terminal 2E at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, France. It is also similar to recent roof collapses in Poland and Germany. Public buildings have become opportunities for architects to express themselves. Unfortunately, architects have little training or expertise in structural engineering and often push the structural engineer to the limit — or beyond — to express themselves.
