The design for Dubai’s Infinity Tower exemplifies SOM’s belief that the exterior form of a high-rise should be a direct expression of its structural framework. The understanding that great architecture must be more than skin deep is reflected as powerfully today in Infinity Tower as in such SOM 20th century landmark designs as Lever House, Sears Tower, and John Hancock Center.
