About the Book

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.

Review :
"The World by Design is a must-read for all of those who love cities and the buildings and skylines that define them. It will encourage you to not only look up, but to think differently about our built environment and those who shape it." --Stephen M. Ross, chairman and founder of The Related Companies "Anyone who cares about the built environment should read The World By Design. Gene and his partners at KPF are defining the New York skyline with One Vanderbilt and this book provides fascinating insights into how they have built cities around the world." --Marc Holliday, chairman and chief executive officer, SL Green Realty "Great buildings give cities shape and character, and they inspire us to set our sights higher. This book pulls the curtain back on how they are brought to life." --Michael R. Bloomberg, 108th mayor of New York City "In The World by Design, Gene Kohn captures the excitement and camaraderie of architecture as a team sport. The book takes us inside one of the world's most significant architecture practices with a most congenial guide. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the business and culture of design." --Frederick Steiner, dean of the University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design
