Beschreibung
Readings from the Architecture of Louis I. Kahn seeks to remedy the dearth of close analyses of many of Louis Kahns greatest buildings: the Yale Art Gallery, the Richards Medical Research Building, the Salk Institute, the Unitarian Church, the Womens 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 Kahns life and poetics of architecture are re-interpreted here through detailed readings of specific works. Anomalies in Kahns 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 authors personal photographs of Kahns work. This book is published on the hundredth anniversary of the architects birth.
