HOK appoints former RSHP partner as London office principal

HOK has appointed former Roger Stirk Harbour & Partners associate partner James Leathem as technical principal for its London Office.

Leathem spent more than 25 years at RSHP, with his work at the practice including the Stirling-prize winning Terminal Four at the Adolfo Suarez Barajas Airport in Madrid.

His designs also include the BBVA Bancomer Bank in Mexico City, which won the RIBA International Excellence Award.

Leathem’s other projects include the Welsh Parliament building in Cardiff, Las Arenas Bullring in Barcelona, the International Spy Museum in Washington DC and the Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan.

Leathem专注于立面和结构设计，于2021年3月离开RSHP，成为Arney Fender Katsalidis的负责人。

He has also tutored at the Bartlett School of Architecture and at Utah State University.

HOK事务所伦敦工作室的管理负责人Daniel Hajjar对此次任命表示，Leathem“是我们行业中备受尊敬的合作技术领导者”。

Leathem added: “Complex projects require creative problem-solving to achieve a client’s goals and design vision.

“I’m thrilled to bring my technical expertise to HOK’s London studio to collaborate on designs that transform our built environment.”

In March, HOK announced thedeath of one of its co-founders, Gyo Obata at the age of 99.
