REACHING NEW HEIGHTS: FAZLUR RAHMAN KHAN AND THE SKYSCRAPER is a feature length documentary film about the American structural engineer and architect Dr. Fazlur Rahman Khan, known as the ‘Einstein of structural engineering’ and ‘father of modern skyscrapers.’ Khan, a Muslim immigrant, designed the iconic Sears Tower (now Willis Tower) and the John Hancock Center in Chicago. His pioneering innovations in skyscraper design literally transformed the landscape of America’s largest cities and paved the way for supertall skyscrapers worldwide.
“A documentary on Fazlur R. Khan’s legacy is long overdue.”
