| Old and new high-rise projects by the architectural offices of SOM are presented and discussed
SOM journal 7 is the most recent issue in a continuing series that presents the work of SOM in the context of a critical discussion. The process of review by a jury is a daring enterprise unique to SOM. The jurors for this issue were Erik Olsen, Rita McBride, Peter MacKeith, Juhani Pallasmaa, Luis Fernandez-Galiano, Joan Ockman, and Kenneth Frampton. The jury was held on May 19, 2010, at the Seagram Building in New York.
