Bridging the gaps between design and the public through intelligent and sustainable engineering is one of SKA’s corporate missions. Making a positive impact on the communities where we live and work empowers our talent to push beyond the normal boundaries of good design, blurring the lines between expectations and the unexpected, to create public spaces that house, inspire, and move people.
