Architects faced several challenges when constructing the Willis Tower, primarily due to its innovative design and height. Ensuring structural stability against wind forces and seismic activity was crucial, requiring advanced engineering techniques. Additionally, the building's large floor plates and unique "bundled tube" structure posed complexities in both construction logistics and material requirements. Finally, navigating regulatory approvals and addressing environmental concerns also added to the challenges of the project.
Owings and Merrill Skidmore were the architects
