Kinetic architectural features bring creative vision, movement, structure, mechanics, and functionality together. From moving facade elements and clock towers to casino atriums, themed environments, public installations, and specialty architectural displays, these highly visible features require engineering that can support both the creative vision and operation.
KCI, formerly McLaren Engineering Group, provides structural, mechanical, and specialty engineering support for kinetic architectural features, helping complex creative concepts become coordinated, buildable systems. Our engineers address loads, movement, connections, supports, materials, tolerances, fabrication coordination, installation sequencing, maintenance access, and long-term performance.
