The Sony Center in Berlin, designed by Helmut Jahn

The Chicago-based German architect Helmut Jahn is best known for his efficiently-designed office blocks in modernist style. While many of these glass-and-steel buildings don't stand out, some of Jahn's most eye-catching projects—such as the Sony Center in Berlin, with its tent-like roof covering the central forum—border on post-modernism.
