As Chairman/CEO of Seattle-based structural engineering firm Magnusson Klemencic Associates (FKA Skilling Ward Magnusson Barkshire), Jon leads what many people consider the most creative consulting engineering firm in the US today. His design leadership has created and advanced a portfolio of completed projects in 43 states and 31 countries - including many of the Puget Sound area's newest generation of landmarks, including Bellevue Art Museum, Benaroya Hall, EMP, Key Arena, Safeco Field, Seahawks Stadium, and the new Seattle Central Library.

In the days and months following the tragedies of 9/11/01, Jon Magnusson helped Americans and the world to understand the miracle of engineering that allowed many to survive the attacks on the World Trade Center. The Skilling firm's original engineering masterpiece, and Jon's articulate explanations, exemplify the highest values of design and the design professions. A dedicated partner in practice and ally in design, he has demonstrated outstanding and intelligent leadership in making design comprehensible and accessible, even to our youngest citizens, through his advocacy and his commitment to mentoring.

In May 2003, the AIA recognized Jon Magnusson as one of eight in the nation inducted as Honorary AIA Members this year. National Board Members Norman Strong AIA and R K Stewart FAIA sponsored his nomation.

We urge Fellows/Honors Council attendees to bring young architects and colleagues as their guests, to share the inspiration and experience of this presentation.

Cordially,

Don Carlson FAIA
President, Fellows/Honors Council
