In the cartography of human accomplishment, you’ll find ENR’s Top 25 Newsmakers in past years all over the map. I mean that literally and figuratively.
About 20 years ago, one Newsmaker was Helmut Cerovsek, a technical advisor at HNTB. He devised a structural solution to reuse an existing roof at a stadium in Indiana, making possible the addition of 3,000 seats. Two years later, ENR conferred the award for a far different stadium built for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Dimitris Kallitsantsis directed its design and construction under time and political pressure.
