Résumé
From his native city of Philadelphia to the heart of Bangladesh, Louis Kahn's architecture flourished in a variety of artistic, governmental and residential settings. This book features original imagery by architectural photographer Cemal Emden of the buildings designed solely by Kahn, alongside enlightening texts by architecture professor Caroline Maniaque. In focusing on Kahn's most iconic works, we are afforded a rich understanding of the characteristic features of geometric shape, repetition of materials and thoughtful design which came to define the work of one of the greatest architects of the twentieth century.
