Jahn's work internationally includes the Sony Center in Berlin and the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Thailand. He also had a hand in the design of the J Edgar Hoover Building, the FBI headquarters in Washington. He worked on several major projects, including Chicago's McCormick Place and the United Airlines terminal at O'Hare International Airport, which includes a walkway famous for its colorful lighting. Jahn's professional career began in 1967 when he joined CF Murphy Associates, which later became Murphy/Jahn. He moved to Chicago in 1966 to study under legendary architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a creator of modernist architecture, at the Illinois Institute of Technology. Authorities say the driver of one of the vehicles that struck Jahn was taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.Ī profile posted on the website of his firm, Jahn, says he was born in Germany in 1940 and graduated from Technische Hochschule in Munich. Jahn was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Jahn failed to stop at a stop sign at an intersection and was struck by the two vehicles, headed in opposite directions, Campton Hills Police Chief Steven Miller said in a news release. Jahn, 81, was struck Saturday afternoon while riding north on a village street in Campton Hills, about 90 kilometers (55 miles) west of Chicago.
