Mark Sinclair, Principal
Degenkolb Engineers

Speaker Bio
Originally from New Zealand, a country blessed with frequent earthquakes but relatively few buildings to enjoy them, he’s been learning and thinking about seismic performance of buildings since high school. Mark is advancing the firm’s use of the latest engineering technology such as seismic isolation, energy dissipation, building instrumentation, and isolated raised access floors for data centers. By combining these technologies with advanced computer analysis techniques he works toward providing clients with higher performing buildings at construction costs equal to or lower than conventionally constructed buildings.

Sam Miller (LMN Architects), Mark Sinclair (Degenkolb Engineers), and James Barrett (Turner Construction) share their insights into technology innovation in their respective firms.
