About This Artwork
The John Hancock Center is a 100 story skyscraper located at 875 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The building reaches 1127 feet in height, 1506 feet including the two antenna masts. It was designed by architect Bruce Graham and structural engineer Fazlur Khan, both members of the firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. It was the tallest building in Chicago from its completion in 1969 until 1972. The Hancock is famous for its innovative “trussed steel tube” structural concept. This X-braced gridwork of steel on the exterior of the building provides a very stiff resistance against high force winds and also allows for the use of fewer structural columns on the interior of the building. The sides of the building are sloped, giving the Hancock its unique “tapered” appearance. The Hancock is a mixed-use building incorporating commercial space, parking, offices, condominiums, restaurants, an observatory, and a television broadcast studio. In 1999, the John Hancock Center won the American Institute of Architects’ prestigious 25-Year Award.
