You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.222.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Helmut Jahn''' (January 4, 1940 – May 8, 2021) was a German-American [[architecture|architect]], known for projects such as the [[Sony Center]] on [[Potsdamer Platz]] in Berlin, Germany; the [[Messeturm]] in Frankfurt, Germany; the [[James R. Thompson Center|Thompson Center]] in Chicago; [[One Liberty Place]] in [[Philadelphia]], Pennsylvania; and [[Suvarnabhumi Airport]], in [[Bangkok]], [[Thailand]], among others.

His recent projects included [[50 West Street]], a residential tower in New York City in 2016 and the [[Rottweil Test Tower|ThyssenKrupp Test Tower]] in [[Rottweil|Rottweil, Germany]] in 2017. He was also behind [[1000M]] in Chicago which began construction in 2019.

==Life and career==

He studied architecture at the [[Technical University of Munich]] from 1960 to 1965,<ref>((Cite web|date=2021-05-11|title=Helmut Jahn obituary|url=http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/may/11/helmut-jahn-obituary|access-date=2021-05-15|website=the Guardian|language=en))</ref> and worked with ((ill|Peter C. von Seidlein|de)) for a year after graduation.<ref name="NYTObit" /> In 1966, he went to Chicago to further study architecture under [[Myron Goldsmith]] and [[Fazlur Khan]] at the [[Illinois Institute of Technology]] on a [[Ambassadorial Scholarships|Rotary Scholarship]], earning a Master's degree in 1967.<ref name=munzinger />

===Murphy/Jahn===
Jahn joined [[Charles Murphy (architect)|Charles Francis Murphy]]'s architecture firm, C. F. Murphy Associates, in 1967 and was appointed Executive Vice President and Director of Planning and Design of the firm in 1973.((Citation needed|date=May 2021))  He took sole control in 1981, renaming the firm Murphy/Jahn (even though [[Charles Murphy (architect)|Murphy]] had retired).((Citation needed|date=May 2021)) Murphy died in 1985.

===Death===
Jahn was killed on May 8, 2021, while riding his bicycle in [[Campton Hills, Illinois|Campton Hills]], a suburb of Chicago.<ref>((Cite news|last=Sandomir|first=Richard|date=2021-05-10|title=Helmut Jahn, 'Convention-Busting' Architect, Dies at 81|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/10/us/helmut-jahn-dead.html|access-date=2021-05-15|issn=0362-4331))</ref> The collision happened near his home and horse farm in [[St. Charles, Illinois]], a Chicago suburb.<ref>((Cite web|last=Rosenberg-Douglas|first=Katherine|title=Architect Helmut Jahn killed in bike accident in Chicago suburb|url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation-world/ct-helmut-jahnfamed-architect-dies-20210509-t4co2a6zd5fxzfiyon2hvcud24-story.html|access-date=2021-05-09|website=Baltimore Sun|date=May 9, 2021 ))</ref><ref>((cite news |last1=Kesslen |first1=Ben |title=Famed German architect Helmut Jahn dies in Illinois bicycle accident at 81 |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/famed-german-architect-helmut-jahn-dies-illinois-bicycle-accident-81-n1266787 |access-date=10 May 2021 |publisher=NBC News |date=May 9, 2021))</ref><ref>((cite news |title=Famed German-US architect Helmut Jahn dies in bike accident |url=https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210510-famed-german-us-architect-helmut-jahn-dies-in-bike-accident |access-date=10 May 2021 |publisher=France24 |date=May 10, 2021))</ref>

==Architectural style and influences==
Generally inspired by [[Ludwig Mies van der Rohe]], yet opposed to the [[doctrinal]] application of [[International Style (architecture)|modernism]] by his followers, in 1978, Jahn became the eighth member of the [[Chicago Seven (architects)|Chicago Seven]]. His architectural style shifted from the [[Modern architecture|modernism]] of the [[Ludwig Mies van der Rohe|Miesian]] tradition to a [[postmodern architecture|postmodernist]] one with high-tech stylizations.<ref>((cite web|url=http://architecture-history.org/architects/architects/JAHN/biography.html |title= Helmut Jahn  |work=20th Century Architecture ))</ref> Jahn established his reputation in 1985 with the [[James R. Thompson Center|State of Illinois Center]] in Chicago which prompted him to be dubbed "[[Flash Gordon]]".<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.architectureweek.com/2002/0717/design_1-1.html|title=ArchitectureWeek – Design – The New Modernism of Helmut Jahn – 2002.0717|website=www.architectureweek.com))</ref> In addition to the main seat in Chicago, the company has offices in Berlin and Shanghai.

On October 26, 2012, Helmut Jahn renamed Murphy/Jahn to simply JAHN.((citation needed|date=May 2021))
