KPF Principal John Bushell presented 81 Newgate Street as part of the City Architecture Forum (CAF) 2020 Digital Lecture Series on Tuesday July 28.
In addition to a selection of projects from KPF’s transformation portfolio, John presented designs for the former BT Headquarters, which was recently granted planning permission. The scheme will transform a monolithic 1980’s office block into a sustainable, mixed-use building that is embedded in the wider public life of the City as a new gateway destination into London’s ‘Culture Mile’.
The City Architecture Forum is a cross-discipline group of professionals, including architects, planners, developers, conservationists and media, with a common interest in the quality of architecture and public space in the City of London. See their full programme of events here.
