History:

Al Samborn, a Structural Engineer, decided to become a founder of an engineering firm in 1948, following his military service.  He determined to create a firm based upon excellent project delivery.  Later throughout the firms years, engineers Jack Steketee, Burrie Otis, and John Evans joined the firm and developed it as a full A/E firm called SSOE.  Around the 1960’s, roughly 15 years following the firms founding, it began gaining national recognition, especially in the midwest as they began integrating advanced technologies into their practices.  As of 2021, SSOE embraced a new mission statement, “to deliver unparalleled client value that advances the AEC industry,” positions SSOE at the forefront of change, driven by SSOE’s digital transformation strategy.

History

Kohn Pederson and Fox was founded July 4, 1976 precisely 200 years following America’s independence.  The three founding architects A. Eugene Kohn, William Pederson, and Sheldon Fox envisioned an architecture firm which based its success on dialogue and communication.

The first projects began in the United States which included buildings such as 333 Wacker Lane in Chicago and the Federal Reserve Bank in Dallas.  These skyscrapers as well as some of the firm’s newer projects consist of a primarily glass façade wrapped around a skeleton that uniquely combines linear and curved features.

Some of the newer projects such as the pinnacle incorporate ideas such as a spiraling structural frame encompassed by glass or curved shell-like structures such as the Lotte Super Tower 123.  Kohn Pederson and Fox strive for the minimization of environmental impact and implementation of vernacular elements in their skyscrapers.
