Readings from the Architecture of Louis I. Kahn

Bag om Readings from the Architecture of Louis I. Kahn

Readings from the Architecture of Louis I. Kahn seeks to remedy the dearth of close analyses of many of Louis Kahn¿s greatest buildings: the Yale Art Gallery, the Richards Medical Research Building, the Salk Institute, the Unitarian Church, the Women¿s Dormitory at Bryn Mawr, the Exeter Library, the Indian Institute of Management, the Assembly Building at Dacca, the Kimbell Art Museum and the Yale British Art Center. The previously known aspects of Kahn¿s life and poetics of architecture are re-interpreted here through detailed readings of specific works. Anomalies in Kahn¿s architecture are discussed and explicated. The sixty illustrations include over twenty items from the Louis Kahn Collection at the University of Pennsylvania and a selection of the author¿s personal photographs of Kahn¿s work. This book is published on the hundredth anniversary of the architect¿s birth.
