Adrian Smith Already Trying to Outdo His Burj Khalifa with a New World's Tallest Building?

To stay on this Pritzker theme for a second longer, although Adrian Smith was our first pick to win this year’s prize, only to have it snapped up by our longshot selection, SANAA, Smith still wound up making some big news. The architect was the original designer of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, but his involvement was a bit shadowed (so much so that he began to complain publicly about it) given that he was working for Skidmore, Owings & Merill when he created it.
