Description

Star architect Helmut Jahn has been leaving his eyecatching
and distinctive mark on the world's metro -
polises since the 70s: from Chicago to Singapore and
Shanghai, from Frankfurt, Munich, and Berlin to Las
Vegas and Tokyo, his towers of glass and steel rise
spectacularly into the sky, dominating the townscape
and the skyline of the cities in which they stand.
Multi-award winning photographer Rainer Viertlböck
captures Helmut Jahn's buildings with breathtaking
precision and suggestive power-the early designs in
Chicago and New York as well as the striking projects
that Murphy/Jahn realized from the 90s around the
world: Chicago's O'Hare Airport Terminal One Complex,
425 and 750 Lexington Avenue in New York City,
One and Two Liberty Place in Philadelphia, the Veer
Towers in Las Vegas...
A visually fascinating catalog of works by a brilliant architect
and an equally brilliant photographer.
