(The picture above is Kevin at Expo 2000 in Hanover, a trip we took following the Frankfurt Book Fair that year.) He was an immensely influential figure in the field of architecture, but also in my own life. I wrote a bit about what he meant to me and to the world, at the design site <a href=\"https:\/\/commonedge.org\/kevin-lippert-genuine-polymath\/\">Common Edge<\/a>.
