Description

Meet the man who treated each building like a temple. From Dhaka, Bangladesh, to La Jolla, California, this book traces the extraordinary architectural language of Louis Isadore Kahn, the pioneering modernist who inflected the International Style with a “back to basics” classical grammar and pierced its sleek masses with geometrical shapes and near-celestial spots of sunlight.
