DesignPhiladelphia proudly presents the 38th Louis I. Kahn Award to Kengo Kuma, founder of KENGO KUMA & ASSOCIATES. The evening will begin with a cocktail reception attended by leading voices in architecture, design, and urban planning, followed by a special presentation in which Kuma will share insights into his groundbreaking projects—including the UCCA Clay Museum in China, Yami-Tani in Paris, and the Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian in Lisbon.

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from Kuma as he travels from Japan to join us for this special occasion. Renowned for blending tradition with modernity, his work creates spaces that harmonize with nature in beautifully innovative ways.
