The KPF-designed extension and retrofit project is featured in a global roundup of community-centric architecture and urban landscapes.
A planning application was recently submitted to extend and retrofit the Bush House South West Wing at King’s College London, as part of a broader Masterplan Framework for King’s Strand and Waterloo campuses.
“Originally built in 1934, the transformed building will feature modern educational facilities, a student services center, and faculty offices. A new contemporary extension will create a vibrant student hub with social and study spaces that enhance the newly pedestrianized Strand. Central to the design is the King’s Agora, a 160-seat teaching and events space equipped for global conferencing. KPF aims to maximize the building’s existing structure while upgrading its fabric for energy efficiency,” as noted by ArchDaily.
