Computer design of 100-Story John Hancock Center
John Hancock Center in Chicago, Ill, with approximately 2,800,000 sq ft of floor area had to be completely designed within one year; because of unique structural system and tapered shape of building, large volume of analysis and design work was anticipated; extremely short schedule necessitated development of detailed program of coordinated usage of large and small computers; it was recognized that complexity of structure would require special use of large computers; various phases of small-to-large computer coordination that led to successful completion of design of this unusual and complicated structure, are described in detail.
