The work of Kohn Pedersen Fox is international in scope,
collaborative in design, and a product of individual voices focused
on a single objective - making an architecture, of our time, which
creates strong bonds with the the specific place it occupies. While
William Pedersen founded the firm, with partners Gene Kohn and
Shelley Fox, he never aspired to be a 'director of design.' They
had the components with Gene's entrepreneurial drive, Shelley's
management and Bill's design leadership - to be a large firm.
'Directing' the work of a large firm was not Bill's desire, instead
he wanted to focus on a body of work which he could call his own.
The example that work set would inspire others, and it did. Now
there are several voices leading their design - all of them rose to
their position within the office. The purpose of this book is to
define the work of one of the voices - Bill Pedersen's. Pedersen
has worked with many different designers, in close collaboration,
throughout his career, though his work speaks with a singular
voice. Here it is represented chronologically and concludes with
the latest phase - furniture. Working from the largest scale to the
smallest has always been a preoccupation of those who lead design
in KPF. Many of Pedersen's architectural heroes designed chairs,
and he strives to follow in their footsteps.
