Skidmore, Owings & Merrill is an American architectural firm founded in 1936 that shaped postwar modernism through large-scale civic and commercial buildings characterized by steel frames, glass curtain walls, and rational grid systems. The practice pioneered the corporate modernist aesthetic in projects ranging from office towers to cultural institutions, establishing a template for institutional architecture that prioritized structural clarity and material honesty.
