German-born Helmut Jahn, a leading postmodernist architect whose works included convention centers from Doha to Shanghai, and airport projects from Chicago to Bangkok, has died at 81 in a bicycle crash.
Jahn was reportedly riding a bike on Saturday afternoon in Campton Hills, Illinois, located about 50 miles west of Chicago, when he was struck by two cars going in opposite directions. Police said the cyclist failed to yield at a stop sign before being struck on an intersection. Jahn, who was a resident of neighboring St. Charles, Illinois, was pronounced dead at the scene.
