Nathaniel A. Owings
Nathaniel Alexander Owings (February 5, 1903 - June 13, 1984) was an American architect, a founding partner of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), which became one of the largest architectural firms in the United States and the world. Owings viewed skyscrapers as his firm's specialty. His reputation rested on his ability to be what he called "the catalyst," the person in his firm who ironed out differences among clients, contractors and planning commissions.〔Barron, James. ("Nathaniel Owings, 81, Dies; Early Skyscraper Advocate," ) ''New York Times.'' June 14, 1984.〕
