JAHN, CEO | Chicago, United States
Helmut Jahn, FAIA, has earned a reputation for his progressive architecture. His buildings have received design awards and have been represented in architectural exhibitions internationally.
Born in Germany, Jahn graduated from the Technische Hochschule in Munich. He came to the USA for graduate studies in architecture at IIT. He joined the firm, at the time named C. F. Murphy Associates, in 1967 and worked under Gene Summers, designing the new McCormick Place.
He is committed to design excellence and improving urban environment. He believes the continuous innovation of architecture has to do with the elimination of the inessential.
