The Brunswick was an early collaboration between SOM high-rise pioneers Bruce Graham, Myron Goldsmith, and Fazlur Kahn. For the Brunswick Building, Khan conceived a first-of-its-kind concrete tube structure. This innovation enabled the modular approach to high-rise construction later used on the John Hancock Center and Sears Tower.
