Born in 1929, today would have been Khan's 88th birthday. He came to the United States in 1952 and studied at the University of Illinois, where he earned two master's degrees and a PhD in structural engineering. Khan was hired by Chicago architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1955, and went on to design the two iconic Chicago buildings.
He's considered the "father of tubular designs" for skyscrapers, which allowed towers to be constructed by the exterior frame of the building rather than the central supports of steel. This method, which proved to be far more efficient by using considerably less steel, has continued t0 be used in many high-rise buildings today. Khan's design innovation was used in buildings such as the World Trade Center, Bank of China Tower and in New York's Trump Tower.
At 100 stories high, the Hancock center was the second-tallest building in the world when it was completed in 1968. Built just a few years later in 1973, the Sears Tower is 108 stories high and is the second tallest building in the United States. It was renamed the Willis Tower in 2009.
Khan died of a heart attack in 1982 and was buried in Chicago. Khan is frequently remembered for his quote on always remembering the bigger picture in life.
"The technical man must not be lost in his own technology,” he said. "He must be able to appreciate life, and life is art, drama, music, and most importantly, people.”

Moishe Mana hopes to lure a slew of innovative companies and trade groups to his 30-acre campus in the Wynwood neighborhood with a major rezoning proposal he filed with the city of Miami.
Only months after a new zoning code was approved for Wynwood, the New York-based developer is asking for a “special area plan” for his property that would increase its possible density further. Buildings could rise up to 24 stories along Interstate 95 and the total square footage, including parking decks, would be around 9 million square feet, said Bernard Zyscovich, whose Zyscovich Architects is the master planner for the project.
For comparison, the first phase of the Brickell City Centre project now under construction totals 5.4 million square feet, but on a much tighter site of seven acres.
Mana Wynwood runs from Northwest 22nd Street to Northwest 24th Street between Interstate 95 and Northwest 2nd Ave. This former free trade zone is in the middle of a neighborhood that’s been transformed from a manufacturing hub to a destination for art, restaurants and shopping. Mana has added entertainment to the mix by converting a warehouse into a convention center.
That’s only the beginning of his plans.
“The intent and goal of the plan is to develop a unique area on the southern end of Wynwood with cultural infrastructure with an area of trade on western edge, to facilitate increase trade between South America and Asia,” Zyscovich said. “The eastern edges would fulfill the Moishe Mana vision of the cultural component into the Wynwood area in the form of art and culture mixed with significant job creation, trade and other flexible uses.”
Mana saw that it’s difficult for Latin American people in the trade business to connect to SUPPLIERS in China because they’re so far apart, so he believes Mana Wynwood could create an environment for them to interact, Zyscovich said.
Zyscovich said Mana Wynwood would create a campus environment in a creative setting, making it one of the few places in Miami that could land a cutting edge company like Google.
“The technical man must not be lost in his own technology,” he said. “He must be able to appreciate life, and life is art, drama, music, and most importantly, people.”
