Kohn, Pedersen, Fox
"Founded in 1976, Kohn Pedersen Fox is based in New York, with offices in London and Tokyo. With works in 30 countries, they are well known for design that responds to its environment, both in terms of its physical context and its sustainability. The works have earned KPF recognition as one of the most respected architectural design firms in the world. They have been the recipient of numerous awards, recognizing the wide range of design and technical accomplishments." "KPF believes that design emerges from an intensive dialogue with the client, the site, and the program, with the balance between these forces as the primary goal of the design process. The work is driven by design intent, not a predetermined design style. The works are structures that are intimately connected to function and context, and that achieve a degree of craft and detail that elevates them to the highest level of both beauty and practicality."
The World by Design
Sharing stories and inspiring lessons on leadership and design, one architect explains how he helped build one of the world’s most successful firms Founded on July 4, 1976, Kohn Pedersen Fox quickly became a darling of the press with groundbreaking buildings such as the headquarters for the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in New York, 333 Wacker Drive in Chicago, the Procter & Gamble headquarters in Cincinnati, and the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, DC.

Kohn Pedersen Fox
The fourth volume in a series of monographs celebrating the innovative architectural designs of the highly esteemed international firm. KPF initially distinguished itself through its attention to the most characteristic American building type, the skyscraper. The evolution of the tall tower is a key part of a sustainable paradigm in which individual buildings form part of a larger system of vertical centers linked by horizontal networks of public transportation. These "vertical cities" represent a sustainable model for future development where public transport is encouraged, land is conserved, and energy and water uses are reduced. KPF leads the way, creating enduring architecture with contextual sensitivity, flexibility of use, and care for the environment. KPF has achieved international stature, becoming the first firm to be a member of the United Nations Global Compact. This, the fourth volume of their work, explores their recent buildings in detail. The projects include buildings that have transformed the urban fabric of their respective cities, such as the Roppongi Hills Tower complex in Tokyo and the Shanghai World Financial Center, the tallest skyscraper in Asia.
