The San Francisco International Airport features a 220-foot-tall air-traffic control tower with an iconic, torch-like design that has become the symbol of the airport. This majestic tower utilizes an innovative self-centering system that not only resists earthquake damage but corrects it by restoring the tower to vertical after a severe earthquake.

The project is the winner of multiple awards, including the 2016 ACEC Gran Conceptor Award and the 2016 NCSEA Excellence in Structural Engineering Outstanding Project Award.
