Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on January 04, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Helmut Jahn! May your celebrations be as iconic and timeless as the Sony Center in Berlin or soar to heights rivaling Frankfurt's Messeturm. You've certainly built yourself quite a legacy—literally!

As the eighth member of Chicago’s legendary architectural dream team, you've shaped skylines from Philadelphia's One Liberty Place to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. Here's hoping your birthday cake is structurally sound enough for all those candles—and that this year brings you even more groundbreaking designs (and fewer blueprint revisions).

Cheers to another year of bold visions, sleek lines, and buildings that make us look up—in awe!
