Helmut Jahn came to the U.S. in 1966, expecting to stay a year. He remained for more than half a century, becoming a leading interpreter of modernism for the high-tech era while running the Chicago-based firm Murphy/Jahn (in recent years called JAHN) until his death on Saturday at age 81. His bicycle was struck by two vehicles in an accident near his farm in St. Charles, 40 miles west of Chicago. Survivors include his wife, Deborah Ann Lampe, an interior designer, and their son, Evan.
