Letter From The Editor
To New Horizons By Luke Carothers
It has been my pride and passion to serve in my role as Editor for Civil+Structural Engineer Magazine . For the last five years, I have been given the unique opportunity and responsibility to peer into every corner of the vast network that is the AEC industry in the service of highlighting the people, projects, and stories that are moving us forward. In this time, I have developed a deep respect for what we have come to know as the AEC industry. One of the things I tell my colleagues, perhaps too frequently, is that, unlike most industries, ours has a direct impact on every living thing within the communities we serve. Good and bad, significant and insignificant, meaningful or banal—almost every single moment of our lives and the lives of those around us takes place within the context of the built environment. As the industry tasked with maintaining and expanding the built environment, we have a unique responsibility to the people and places we serve. This is the foundation from which my view of the AEC industry springs—that we, as the designers of the built environment–have a responsibility to consider and design for this understanding. I believe our industry is one worth celebrating—and celebrating loudly. In many ways, this belief has been a defining feature of Civil+Structural Engineer Magazine from its earliest roots. A little more than a decade ago, the concept of Civil+Structural Engineer Media was born when two separate publications—one focused on civil engineering and the other on structural–were purchased by Zweig Group and merged into one magazine, which over time developed into the digital magazine and media platform we are today. Each of these separate changes were made for the same purpose—to deliver content to our audience more efficiently and more effectively, and to celebrate the best of the best in an increasingly interconnected industry. Now, as 2024 draws to a close and we are all in the process of preparing for what the next year holds, I am excited and proud to announce some big changes happening at Civil+Structural Engineer Media. In 2025, we are moving to a new name and brand— The Zweig List . This move will allow us to continue producing the same insightful and award-winning content you’ve come to expect while also celebrating what we feel are the core components of our industry—people, projects, and practice. Under the Zweig List brand, we will still work to deliver content to you through Civil+Structural Engineer Magazine , but also with new content forms and alternate forms of media. I’m excited to share this news, and I look forward to introducing you to the Zweig List brand in the new year. Stay tuned to our channels in the new year for more updates and opportunities. Humbly & Sincerely, Luke Carothers Editor, Civil+Structural Engineer Media
