Founded in 1976, Kohn Pedersen Fox quickly became a darling of the architectural press with ground-breaking buildings across the USA. By the early 1990s, when most architecture firms in the U.S. were struggling to survive a major recession, KPF was busy with significant buildings the world over - pioneering a model of global practice that has influenced architecture, design, and creative-services firms ever since. Forthright and engaging, Kohn examines both award-winning achievements and missteps in his 50-year career in architecture. In the process, he shows how KPF has helped change the buildings and cities where we live, work, learn, and play.
