LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 2, 2009) – London-based engineer Hanif Kara, of Adams Kara Taylor, is the next speaker of the University of Kentucky College of Design Lecture Series (pdf). Kara’s lecture on his work, which is free and open to the public, is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7, in 209 Pence Hall.
Kara’s ‘design-led’ approach and interest in innovative form has allowed him to work on award-winning projects such as the Peckham Library, recipient of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize; Caspar, a British Construction Industry Small Building of the Year Award winner; and the Phaeno Science Center in Germany, a RIBA European Award winner.
Kara, the commissioner for the United Kingdom’s CABE (Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment), was selected for the Master Jury for the 2004 Aga Khan Awards for Architecture and was recently appointed as one of the members of the ‘Design for London’ Advisory Group to the mayor of London.

I had the great pleasure to attend Mr. Kara’s lecture yesterday evening at the Aga Khan University lecture Hall at Karachi. Wow! did he not amaze his audience with the works he had shown on the screen. I wish to thank him sincerely for sharing with us stone age folks his knowledge, his experience, his skill, his works, and all the efforts that he had done to present in his lecture. His works with the leading architects of the world including Zaha Hadid and so many more in Central Asia, London and many other places truly was most gratifying to listen and understand the complexities involved. I wish to sincerely thank all the organizers of this event that took place yesterday for a most en lighting day. There were so many good speakers, and truly a day to remember.
