"Skidmore" značenje u engleski leksikon

Owings and Merrill (SOM) US firm of architects, founded by Louis Skidmore (1897–1962), Nathaniel A Owings (1903–1984), and John O Merrill (1896–1975). The firm's earliest work of note was Lever House, New York 1952, designed by Gordon Bunshaft, a curtain-walled skyscraper recalling the work of Mies van der Rohe. The partnership later moved away from a strict functionalist approach with buildings such as the John Hancock Tower, Chicago, 1970, where diagonal wind-bracing is used to decorative effect. More recently the office has been active internationally in projects such as London's Broadgate (begun 1986) and the Canary Wharf development.
