ArchitectureWeek Description The structural engineer responsible for Chicago’s John Hancock Center and Sears Tower, Fazlur R. Khan (1929–1982) pioneered structural systems for high-rise design that broadened the palette of building forms and expressions available to design professionals today. Through detailed examination of projects at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, this study of Khan’s career provides insight into architectural and engineering practice. Yasmin Sabina Khan, Fazlur Khan’s daughter, has degrees in civil engineering and structural engineering/structural mechanics and has designed multistory buildings on both coasts.
