A stunning celebration of the architect's residential masterpieces
Louis Kahn (1901-1974), one of the most important architects of the
postwar period, is widely admired for his great monumental works,
including the Kimbell Art Museum, the Salk Institute, and the
National Assembly Complex in Bangladesh. However, the importance of
his houses has been largely overlooked. This beautiful book is the
first to look at Kahn's nine major private houses. Beginning with
his earliest encounters with Modernism in the late 1920s and
continuing through his iconic work of the 1960s and 1970s, the
authors trace the evolution of the architect's thinking, which
began and matured through his design of houses and their interiors,
a process inspired by his interactions with clients and his
admiration for vernacular building traditions. Richly illustrated
with new and period photographs and original drawings, as well as
previously unpublished materials from personal interviews,
archives, and Kahn's own writings, The Houses of Louis Kahn shows
how his ideas about domestic spaces challenged conventions, much
like his major public commissions, and were developed into one of
the most remarkable expressions of the American house.
