Fazlur Khan's legacy: towers of the future
Dr. Khan's contributions to the design of tall buildings have had a profound impact on the profession. Khan had a unique understanding of forces, materials, behaviour, as well as art, literature and architecture. Long before there was widespread focus on environmental issues, Khan's designs promoted structural efficiency and minimising the use of materials resulting in the least carbon emission impact on the environment. Khan was interested in the performance of structural systems over an expected life; recognising a building's life cycle and issues of abnormal loading demands, he developed concepts to apply to severe wind environments as well as early concepts of seismic isolation of structures. These system ideas have led to the development of other concepts which have yielded buildings much taller than those considered by Khan. His ideas have inspired others to expand the possibilities in tall building design, life cycle engineering and the effects of the structures on the environment.
