Architect John Portman, Famous For Modern Skyscrapers, Dies At 93
Architect John Portman was famous for building modern skyscrapers with soaring atriums, including Detroit's Renaissance Center and Atlanta's Peachtree Center. The structures were often built as part of urban renewal efforts, but many critics say they did little to draw people to struggling downtowns. Portman died Friday at age 93.
