insurance Known locally as 'Big John', the John Hancock Center is one of the Chicagoans'
favorite skyscrapers. The 100 - story building, completed in 1969, has a remarkable design,
with the huge X-braces serving both a structural and a visual purpose. Visually, it gives the
impression of stability and it moves the eye away from the human-sized windows
7. 7. The building is one of the most recognizable in the world and has won numerous awards
for its distinctive style, including the 1970 Honor Award of the AIA Chicago Chapter. In 1999
this building became the 30th recipient of the American Institute of Architects' prestigious
Twenty-Five Year Award.

11. 11. Located at 875 North Michigan Avenue in the GoldCoast area of Chicago, Illinois.
Skyscraper designed by structural engineer fazlurKhan of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. It
was the tallest building in the world outsideNew York City completed in 1969. Currently the
fourth-tallest building in Chicago andthe sixth-tallest in the United States. When measured to
the top of its antenna masts, itstands at 1,506 feet (459 m). The building is home to offices
and restaurants, as well as about700 condominiums and contains the highest residences in
the world. This skyscraper was named for John Hancock Mutual Life InsuranceCompany, a
developer and original tenant of the building.
12. 12. THE ELLIPTICAL-SHAPED OUTDOOR PLAZA THE PLAZA
13. 13. THE CROWN OF LIGHTS It takes two men 40 hours each to change all the light bulbs in
the Crown of Lights, on the 99th floor. A band of white lights around the 100th floor is visible
all over Chicago at night. The lights change color for Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's
Day, July 4, and Halloween.
14. 14. FACADE The facade consists of 5 sections, each approximately 18storey high. Facade
defined by the diagonal bracing tubes. In the top section, only half of the pattern is visible.
The external cladding is made of anodized aluminum with tinted bronze glass and bronze
colored aluminum window frames. Five sections defined bydiagonal braces.
15. 15. If you melted all the metal in John Hancock Center you could make 96 tour buses Made
of STEEL The slope of the windows helps to reduce the feeling of vertigo for people on
higher floors. The building tapers on all four sides, narrowing by a total of 105 feet on the
east & west sides and 65 feet on the north & south. Because of space constraints caused by
the tower's tapering walls, common hallways and elevator lobbies are narrower on higher
floors.

Architectural style structural expressionism Roof system flat roof with 1 box Since the
floorplates do not transfer wind loads to the structural core as in most skyscrapers, it is
possible to create a two-story space by cutting out the floor almost anywhere in the building!!
19. 19. • The building's distinctive X-bracing has made it an architectural icon, and increases the
flexibility of interior spaces by eliminating the need for regular columns between the core and
perimeter • The construction was designed by the engineer Fazlur Kahn and architect Bruce
Graham from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Fazlur Kahn devised the frame-tube system,
which he also implemented in the Sears Tower. • This new construction method was made
possible by new technologies, like more advanced software and new developments in steel.
• Thanks to the new construction method, it was possible for Kahn to design constructions
which could resist the strong windforces more effectively by having the forces absorbed by
all three dimensions of the building. • The diagonals are connected to the exterior columns,
making it possible for the forces to be carried over from the braces to the columns and back.
• The innovative construction also resulted in a 50% decrease of required steel compared to
skyscrapers built with interior columns.
20. 20. ELEVATORS With the nation's fastest elevators, you'll arrive at the Observatory in 39
seconds. The maximum elevator speed is 549 m/min!
21. 21. THE AMENITIES • The 95th floor has long been home to a restaurant. • While patrons
dine, they can look out at Chicago and Lake Michigan.
•TheHancockCenter'sobservationdeck facilities(called the Hancock Observatory) compete wi

highestindoor swimming pool • The first forty-one floors are office, parking, andcommercial;
the remaining upper floors arecondominiums, an observatory, a restaurant & bar,
andbroadcast facilities. • The skyscraper ... rises from 40,000 square feet at thebase to
18,000 square feet at the summit
22. 22. APARTMENT It includes 48 stories of apartments (with a total of 711 apartments).

24. 24. As an alternative to balconies, about one-third of the residential units have "sky terraces"
- a sort of tiled sunroom separated from living spaces by glass doors.
25. 25. • America's highest indoor swimming pool is located on the 44th floor near the skylobby.
The pool itself is carved out of the mechanical floor below. • The parking garage is accessed
through a detached spiral ramp at the southeast corner; the double helix makes 3 loops each
way between ground level and the garage. • The semicircular sunken plaza on the west side
is a public oasis with seasonal plantings and a 12-foot waterfall. • It includes 48 stories of
apartments (with a total of 711 apartments), 29 stories offices, shops, a hotel, a swimming
pool, an ice rink, restaurant and on top of the 344 meters (1127 ft) tall building radio and
television facilities. • On top it offers services like its own post office and a refuse collection. •
The apartments are located at the top of the tower. Some of them are so high that the
inhabitants sometimes have to call the doorkeeper to ask what the weather's like down on
the ground, as the apartments are sometimes above the clouds!
26. 26. The observatory has the only open-air viewing deck in Chicago. They say fast-talking
politicians gave the city its nickname, but up here, you might think otherwise. CHICAGO- The
Windy City THE OBSERVATORY
27. 27. The observation floor features the highest balcony in America, a screened-in area called
the "Skywalk".
28. 28. Criticism At the beginning of the project, it was controversial mostly because of the
location of this massive tower, near the much smaller and more gentle buildings on Michigan
Avenue. After its completion, most of the criticism dwindled, but much like with the Sears
Tower, the plaza at the entrance was considered very user- unfriendly, being afflicted by
heavy gales and loud traffic noise from Michigan Avenue. It was redesigned in 1995 and now
includes a 3,5 meters high fountain to muffle the noise and a recirculation of office and
shopping traffic. THE JOHN HANCOCK CENTER THE SEARS TOWER CRITICISM- A
striking similarity!

10. PENGGUNAAN BANGUNAN Penggunaan Mixed Communication Observation Office Residential

11. Terletak di 875 North Michigan Avenue di daerah GoldCoast di Chicago, Illinois. Skyscraper dirancang
oleh insinyur struktur fazlurKhan dari Skidmore, Owings dan Merrill. Itu adalah gedung tertinggi di dunia
luar New York City selesai pada tahun 1969. Saat ini gedung tertinggi keempat di Chicago dan yang
keenam tertinggi di Amerika Serikat. Ketika diukur ke puncak tiang antena, garis itu di 1.506 kaki (459
m). Bangunan ini merupakan rumah bagi perkantoran dan restoran, serta sekitar 700 kondominium dan
memiliki tempat tinggal tertinggi di dunia. Pencakar langit ini dinamai John Hancock Mutual Life
InsuranceCompany, pengembang dan penyewa bangunan asli.

12. PLAZA OUTDOOR ELLIPTICAL-SHAPED PLAZA

13. CAHAYA LAMPU Dibutuhkan dua orang masing-masing 40 jam untuk mengubah semua bola lampu
di Crown of Lights, di lantai ke-99. Sekelompok lampu putih di lantai 100 terlihat di seluruh Chicago pada
malam hari. Lampu berubah warna untuk Natal, Hari Valentine, Hari St. Patrick, 4 Juli, dan Halloween.

14. FACADE Fasad terdiri dari 5 bagian, masing-masing setinggi 18storey. Fasad didefinisikan oleh tabung
penguat diagonal. Di bagian atas, hanya setengah dari pola yang terlihat. Kelongsong eksternal terbuat
dari aluminium anodized dengan kaca perunggu berwarna dan bingkai jendela aluminium berwarna
perunggu. Lima bagian didefinisikan oleh kawat gigi diagonal.

Terbuat dari BAJA Kemiringan jendela membantu mengurangi perasaan vertigo pada orang-orang di
lantai yang lebih tinggi. Bangunan itu meruncing di keempat sisi, menyempit sebanyak 105 kaki di sisi
timur & barat dan 65 kaki di utara & selatan. Karena kendala ruang yang disebabkan oleh dinding
menara yang meruncing, lorong-lorong umum dan lobi lift lebih sempit di lantai yang lebih tinggi.
