Come to the V&A and meet the greatest engineers in the world!
Engineering shapes our world, and three of the world's greatest come together for a special event at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The Engineers features the designers of record-breaking infrastructures from around the world; its highest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa, its tallest bridge, theMillau Viaduct and the biggest ongoing engineering project on the planet - the soon to be opened expansion of the Panama Canal.
William Baker, Michel Virlogeux and Ilya Espino de Marotta are the chief engineers behind these projects. In partnership with the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, all three join an audience in one of the great galleries of the V&A for a World Service recording to shine a light on the exciting complexities of modern engineering. They will discuss the innovation that made their great works possible, and the responsibility of guiding projects that can have a profound effect on the lives of millions.
Come to the Victoria and Albert Museum for a special evening, starting with a reception in the Sculpture Gallery at 6.30pm and then an exciting debate in the Raphael Room at 7.15pm on Tuesday 31 May.
