This architect designed a building consisting of seventeen triangular spires, the Cadet Chapel, as well as multiple complex rail and highway bridges for the U.S. Air Force Academy. A Google Doodle on April 3, 2017 commemorated this architect's innovations, such as developing the "sheer wall frame" to help resist lateral forces. This architect developed a "fabric roof" structure based on traditional Bedouin tents for the roof of the Hajj Terminal of King Abdulaziz International Airport. To design a building with Bruce Graham, this architect combined X-bracing with a (*) "trussed tube" design. He created a "sky lobby" for that building, the John Hancock Center, and used nine "tubes" to structure a huge corporate tower in The Loop as part of his work for Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill. For 10 points, name this pioneering skyscraper architect, a Bangladeshi American who designed the Willis Tower.
