Ryan Wing on 02 Oct 15In 2004, a recent graduate of Yale's Master of Architecture sued David Childs, a high-profile architect and partner at Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill.

Thomas Shine, the former student, claimed that Childs had ripped off Shine's Olympic Tower design, which he'd submitted as a studio project.
