Skidmore, Owings & Merrill Selected as Chicagoans of the Year (for Obvious Reasons)

The Chicago Tribune has released their annual Chicagoans of the Year picks and Blair Kamin has, of course, picked Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in the architecture category. Seems like a total no brainer, given that the firm continues to be one of the most predominant firms in the business, particularly when that business is building big. And although it doesn’t open until next week, so technically 2010, SOM’s creating the world’s tallest tower, the Burj Dubai, certainly must have locked in their spot for the win.
