Self-anointed professional dreamer Cyril J. Silberman and grounded structural engineer Lawrence G. Griffis prove opposites can attract. They have become a duo of dynamic roofs-and walls and playing fields-in sports construction. In a decade, they have collaborated on a half-dozen projects in the U.S. and chased several dozen in places as far flung as China. In doing so, they have helped thrust kinetic stadium architecture forward. "We started with simple horizontal motion, then got brave going with mild slopes and now the slopes are getting steeper," says Griffis, senior principal in the Austin office of Walter P Moore. Silberman's dream is to change the direction of rolling roofs from biparting panels rolling on parallel rails set on high structure to a sloped wall-roof assembly that slides, like a pocket door, level and sideways on a grade beam.

Griffis）证明了对立面可以吸引。它们已成为运动建筑中充满活力的屋顶，墙壁和运动场的二人组合。十年来，他们在美国进行了六个项目的合作，并追赶了几十个地方，甚至到了中国。通过这样做，他们帮助推动了运动场馆的建设。沃尔特·P·摩尔（Walter P Moore）奥斯汀办公室的高级负责人格里菲斯说：“我们从简单的水平运动开始，然后在平缓的斜坡上勇往直前，现在斜坡变得越来越陡峭。” Silberman的梦想是将滚动屋顶的方向从在高结构上设置的平行导轨上滚动的分隔板更改为可像平开门一样在坡度梁上水平和侧向滑动的倾斜墙屋顶组件。
