Geiger Engineers

For example, Tensotherm (trademark) - a composite fabric insulated with Lumira aerogel - was developed by Cabot Corporation, Birdair, and Geiger Engineers.

In 1968 while David Geiger was an adjunct professor at Columbia University with a part-time practice, he was contacted by Davis-Brody, a New York architectural firm.

[9] In order to meet the lower than expected budget passed by Congress, Geiger changed the design and invented the low profile cable-restrained air-supported roof.

[11] As important as the air-supported roof projects, was Geiger Berger's work in pioneering long-span cable, tensile membrane, and tensegrity structures.

Among the notable structures engineered by Geiger Berger are the tensile membrane Hajj Terminal which in 2010 won the AIA 25-Year Award;[12] the first tensegrity type dome which was built for the Olympic Gymnastics Venue in Seoul, Korea;[13] and the world's first translucent insulated fabric roof for the Talisman Centre (now the MNP Community & Sport Centre), in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
