Ysrael Seinuk
 NEW YORK
CITY (By Carolina A. Miranda, Time) August 18, 2005 - Look up as you walk the
streets of New York City, and you can appreciate the work of Ysrael Seinuk. As a
structural engineer, he is the man who makes tall buildings stand, responsible
for the steel-and-concrete core that rises dozens of stories above the earth. In
a career that has spanned almost five decades, Seinuk, 73, has plenty of
high-profile Manhattan high-rises to his credit, including Philip Johnson's
famous "lipstick" building; Trump World Tower, which holds the title of tallest
residential skyscraper in the western hemisphere; and Norman Foster's angular
Hearst Tower, now under construction.
A pioneering force in the complex world of
tall-building engineering, Seinuk was an early proponent of using stronger
concrete in New York, a feature that has allowed subsequent generations of
engineers to go higher without having to go wider. "My work," says Seinuk, "has
always been about stretching the horizon." When he arrived in the U.S. from Cuba
soon after Castro's revolution, Seinuk had little more than $20 in his pocket,
"my slide rule and my diploma from the University of Havana." The memory of
those lean years keeps him committed to a variety of causes in his adopted
hometown of New York City and beyondfrom cerebral-palsy research to
Cuban-American political efforts. "I came to a country that welcomed me," he
says. "I make an effort to give back."
