Engineering Architecture: The Vision of Fazlur R. Khan focuses on Khan’s progressive ideas for large-scale building design, which he initiated in his own projects – projects such as Chicago’s 100-story John Hancock Center and 110-story Sears Tower, the world’s tallest building for over twenty years. Through detailed examination of projects at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, this study of Fazlur Khan's career provides insight into architectural and engineering practice. At the same time, Engineering Architecture describes Khan’s childhood in Bengal, his early engineering studies, and the personal qualities that shaped his life.
