My book, OMA's Milstein Hall: A Case Study of Architectural Failure, has been published.

Some supplementary material remains on these webpages — primarily videos and links to related documents.

Ochshorn describes the possible interrelationship of guardrail glass shattering and concrete spalling at the intersection of the Milstein Hall loading dock and a reinforced concrete retaining wall (video shot May, 2015; can also be viewed directly on YouTube).
