Navin R. Amin, S.E.

Navin Amin is widely known for his engineering achievements for tall structures around the world, such as San Francisco’s new GAP Headquarters Building, the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, First Canadian Centre in Calgary, and dozens of others.

The promise of an award-winning career emerged quickly for Navin. By the early 1970’s he was working with the late Fazlur Khan on the “bundled tube” concept for Sears Tower — at the time the world’s tallest building.

Navin’s expertise extends well beyond high rises. He has led the seismic retrofit design for significant buildings such as the U.S. Court of Appeals Building in San Francisco. He also directed the structural design of San Francisco’s new International Airport Terminal, the largest base-isolated new structure in the world.

Navin possesses all the virtues of a “complete” engineer: a seasoned perspective, an amiable persona, and a solid approach to problem solving. Time after time, these qualities have proven to be a winning combination.

Navin joined M+L in 1997
