Practice Information
Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill are co-designers of all projects at Chicago practice Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill.
AS+GG is focused on the design of high-performance architecture on an international scale. AS+GG is dedicated to the creation of new paradigms for sustainable development. The office utilizes a holistic, integrated design approach that emphasizes a symbiotic relationship with the natural environment- a philosophy termed ‘global environmental contextualism.’ The approach results in buildings that not only greatly reduce their negative environmental impact, but in some cases, virtually eliminate it altogether. The firm’s current work includes projects in Chicago, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Mumbai, Vancouver, Belgrade, London and China.
Previously Adrian Smith was a design partner at the Chicago office - Skidmore Owings and Merrill (SOM) - who won the design competition for this UAE skyscraper in 2003. Adrian Smith designed the Burj Dubai while at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill:
