Ahmad Abdelrazaq
Samsung Corporation
 Ahmad
Abdelrazaq is Vice President and Executive Director of the Highrise
Building and Structural Engineering Divisions at Samsung
Corporation. Since joining Samsung in 2003, he has been
involved
in the construction planning and structural design of several local and
international projects, including the Burj Dubai Project, the Samsung
Seocho Project in Seoul Korea, and currently performing
pre-construction services for the Y22 project in Seoul, Korea, and
several major projects in the Middle East.
Prior to Joining Samsung, Mr. Abdelrazaq was Associate Partner and
Senior Project Structural Engineer with Skidmore Owings and Merrill in
Chicago, where he was engaged in all aspects of structural engineering
works, from planning/ feasibility studies to completed construction
documents and construction administration. Mr. Abdelrazaq has
extensive experience in the design of buildings ranging from low-rise
to ultra high-rise, and long span structures. Some of the notable
projects during his tenure at SOM included the Burj Dubai Project, Jin
Mao Tower, Tower Palace III, LG Kangnam Tower, LG Art Center, Chicago
Place, Hotel Vila Olympica, and the Millennium Park Project.
Presently Mr. Abdelrazaq serves also as a lecturer at Seoul National
University, where he teaches a high rise building design course for
graduate students. He also served as an adjunct professor at
the
Illinois Institute of Technology’s School of Architecture,
where
his commitment to the development of innovative structural systems was
reflected in his research on concrete/steel/composite structural
systems, and the shaping of supertall buildings to control their
dynamic response to wind excitations. He is also involved in
a
National Science Foundation grant project to monitor the response of
high rise buildings to wind effects.
Mr. Abdelrazaq has published numerous papers on special engineering
topics and lectures frequently at universities and international
professional organizations. He pursues a collaborative approach to
integrating the architectural and engineering design with construction
methods, to achieve a unified and economical design.
