About

Nathaniel Hollister is designer at Goettsch Partners with experience in mixed-use high-rise projects in both Asia and North America.

His experience at Goettsch Partners includes work on Park Tower – a 600 ft skyscraper planned for downtown San Francisco, the 720,000-square-foot competition-winning design for the Zurich North American Headquarters in Schaumburg, and the 150-meter-tall mixed-use China Resources Vanguard Tower in Shenzhen, China.

Between 2009 and 2013, Nathaniel gained significant experience in all aspects of the high-rise typology while working at the CTBUH and co-teaching an advanced architectural high-rise studio at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). During his time at the CTBUH, Nathaniel conducted research and published a number of papers on tall buildings, several of which were focused on dissecting the significant numerical increase and diversification the tall typology has undergone over the past decade.

Nathaniel graduated with honors in 2009 from IIT, receiving his professional bachelor’s degree in architecture. While completing his professional studies, Nathaniel focused on sustainability and high-rise design and studied under Dr. Werner Sobek of Werner Sobek Engineering & Design. Simultaneously, Nathaniel worked as a design consultant at David Fleener Architects. Nathaniel was a finalist in the 2009 Schiff Foundation Fellowship, and his work has been displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Nathaniel continues to be actively involved in the CTBUH, becoming Vice-Chair of the Young Professional Committee in 2013.
