Ammann & Whitney was founded in 1946 byOthmar Ammann, a bridge designer, and Charles S. Whitney, a designer of innovative structures. Whitney's innovations include collaborations withEero Saarinen on early thin-shell concrete structures such asKresge Auditorium (1955),TWA Flight Center (1962), and themain terminal atDulles International Airport (1962).[2]

Examples of the firm's bridge work include theDelaware Memorial Bridge,Walt Whitman Bridge, theGeneral Belgrano Bridge inArgentina, theThrogs Neck Bridge and most notably theVerrazano-Narrows Bridge.[3]
