Art, Architecture & the Birth of Modern Engineering

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Malaga Cove Library
Gallery and Garden

Join structural engineer and local author Wayne Kalayjian for a fascinating discussion on art, architecture, and the origins of modern engineering.


In 1742, when the legendary dome atop St. Peter’s Basilica—designed by artist and architect Michelangelo—cracks and threatens to collapse, its fate is left in the hands of Pope Benedict XIV and three mathematicians. How did their controversial use of science and mathematics lead to the birth of modern engineering? Which of their pioneering ideas keep our buildings, including the Malaga Cove Library, safe today?


Refreshments and a chance to speak with Wayne will follow in the Art Room. Copies of Wayne’s new book, Saving Michelangelo's Dome, will be available.
