This photographic tour of every one of the buildings designed
solely by Louis Kahn represents the architect's greatest
accomplishments. This book focuses on over twenty buildings that
were designed solely by Louis Kahn. From his native city of
Philadelphia to the heart of Bangladesh, Kahn's architecture
reflected his fascination with science, mathematics, history, and
nature. Striking new interior and exterior photographs by esteemed
architectural photographer Cemal Emden reveal the characteristic
features of Kahn's aesthetic: juxtaposed materials, repetition of
line and shape and geometric precision. Also evident is the way
Kahn's designs flourish in a variety of settings--religious,
governmental, educational, and residential. The book gives close
attention to Kahn's most iconic buildings, including Erdman Hall at
Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania; the Indian Institute of
Management in Ahmedabad; the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in Dhaka,
Bangladesh; and the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven,
Connecticut, as well as a cluster of residences he designed in the
Philadelphia area. Chapter openers written by architecture
professor Caroline Maniaque, an introduction by academic Jale Erzen
and an extensive chronology by academic Zekiye Abali, as well as a
selection of Kahn's most insightful statements complete this book,
which allows for a rich understanding of Kahn's architectural
ingenuity.
