She has advanced awareness of technical and sustainable design issues related to tall buildings, both new and existing, and heightened the discussion of large-scale buildings’ contribution to carbon emissions. Sara’s experience has led her to become a sought-after expert on energy performance in both new and existing buildings, with a special focus on supertall towers and the regeneration of cities. She has lectured widely, and 2 has been recognized both within the Chicago community as well as internationally as a leading exponent of energy modernization and performative design. As a Senior Architect at Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture and previously at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Sara has worked on a number of large-scale and supertall projects. Currently, she is a team leader on a confi dential new world-class tower, which will be the world’s next tallest building. Sara also acted as a senior architect on the sustainable modernization and design of the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower Renovation and an adjacent 50-story Hotel project in Chicago (2008), and served as a senior technical coordinator on the Head 3 Offi ces for the Federation of Korea Industries tower in Seoul, Korea (2009). In her previous role at SOM, Sara served as the project architect for the $90 million GSA renovation of Mies vand der Rohe’s E.M. Dirksen Federal Courthouse in Chicago (2005-2006); she also had a key technical and leadership role on the design of the 95-story Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago (2003-2005). On the large-scale urban level, Sara was a key member of the AS+GG team that developed a “DeCarbonization Plan” for the City of Chicago. The overall plan creates a design framework to lower Chicago’s carbon emissions to meet the 2030 goals; Sara specifi cally focused on the development of guidelines for the reduction of carbon within existing buildings in the study area. During her early years practicing architecture, Sara worked with the National Park Services’ Historic American 4 Engineering Record, studying and documenting historic bridges which are now published in the Library of Congress. She also interned at Holabird & Root, where she contributed to the Booth Library Expansion and Renovation at Eastern Illinois University (1999-2000) and the construction drawings for Rem Koolhaas’ IIT Student Center. Sara’s reputation as a leading proponent of designing energy modernization projects began with her work on the GSA Design Excellence renovation of the Dirksen Federal Courthouse in Chicago. The scope of services included an exterior wall analysis, complete systems upgrade and renovation of selected interior spaces. Sara also led the development of a building standards prototype document—a reference piece that 5 received extraordinarily positive feedback from the GSA and one that they have stated could have far-reaching applications for federal properties. Sara’s experience on the Dirksen renovation greatly enabled her work on the design of another landmark Chicago building renovation: The Willis (then Sears) Tower. In 2007, AS+GG was engaged to study sustainable strategies for an energy modernization of the 110-story Willis Tower. Sara led the team, working with Willis Tower ownership to study the building’s energy use and set aggressive goals for the reduction 1. Head Offi ces for the of carbon emissions in the tower.

The Architecture of Adrian Smith: Toward a Sustainable Future showcases a body of work that has made a significant contribution to contemporary world architecture. Adrian Smith has brought design solutions with enduring value to the entire planet. He's designed buildings in China, England, Germany, Brazil, Kuwait, Canada, Korea, Guatemala, Bahrain, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and the United States. His expertise covers areas as broad as operations, marketing, finance, and professional services. He is truly one of the few architectural polymaths, a person who has a great diversity of skills and immense intellect. Smith is perhaps most recognised for designing exceptionally aesthetic and functional tall buildings. He understands scale, community, and context as few others do. He is passionate about (and celebrates) well designed buildings of all shapes and sizes, and has earned accolades for designing the tallest building in the world. Some of Smith's most renowned works include Banco De Occidente, United Gulf Bank, Rowes Wharf, 10 Ludgate, Jin Mao Tower, Burj Dubai, and Pearl River. When it comes to important buildings, Adrian Smith and SOM have provided us a beacon by which to steer.
