The KPF Principal presented “Building Healthy City Regions” for University of Oxford MSc students at the Garrison Chapel in London.
Mustafa’s presentation provided insight into the tools used by KPF to achieve optimal design solutions, illustrated by some of the firm’s most innovative projects such as One Vanderbilt in New York. KPF’s in-house technology experts, KPFui, use advanced data analysis to identify ways to improve urban environments, optimize planning, and drive tailor-made performance solutions.
Senior Associate Tutor at the University of Oxford Dr. Matthew Hardy chaired the panel alongside Mustafa and Ms. Lita Khazaka, Founder and Managing Director of Studio LK. The presentation was followed by a Q&A session, with topics raised by the chair and student participants.
