Tune in to Episode 17 of the PA Talks series with James von Klemperer, President and Design Principal at Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. As President of the firm, he is responsible for leading the staff of 750+ people in 10 offices around the world. His work ranges in scale from house to the city, and he contributes these efforts closely from conception to completion. He received his Bachelor of Arts in History and Literature from Harvard in 1979, and a Master of Architecture from Princeton in 1983. He has completed major projects in Asia including the China Resources Tower in Shenzhen, Plaza 66, and Lotte World Tower in Seoul. In New York, his design for the tallest office tower, One Vanderbilt, looks directly to Grand Central Terminal. Moreover, in London, Jamie led the design of the One Nine Elms hotel and residential towers. James states that large buildings have a major role in making an urban space, and his designs have been recognized for marrying an efficient program with an adventurous form.
