Architect A. Eugene Kohn, co-founder of the design firm behind some of the world's tallest skyscrapers, has died from cancer aged 92
The company's current president, James von Klemperer, noted Kohn's involvement in projects as diverse as the World Bank's headquarters in Washington, D.C and the transformation of London's historic Covent Garden.
"His seemingly limitless interest in other human beings gave him powerful insights into the social aspect of building programs and larger urban agendas," Von Klemperer said in a statement.In addition to his work at KPF, Kohn taught at Columbia and Harvard universities and was an executive fellow at the latter's Graduate School of Design.
