Our Story

  • Architectural Engineers Collaborative (AEC) was established in 1998 by experienced structural engineers with a mission to practice architectural engineering. The name “Architectural Engineers Collaborative” is descriptive of the company’s ongoing mission and intrinsic belief that structural design and architectural design are inseparable in the realm of building.

    The architectural engineer at AEC extends his or her design role beyond the mathematic and economic evaluation of a structural framework to examine the impact of structure on a building as a whole. Our engineers understand and embrace the basic constraints of site, program, sustainability, and budget in order to design structures that are complementary to the goals of our clients. The resultant buildings are improved functionally, economically, environmentally, and aesthetically.

    In 2023, AEC joined TYLin as part of their Building Sector. TYLin is a globally connected engineering company with 3,000+ professionals worldwide. The Building Sector includes 200+ people across the America’s and 60+ professional engineers.
