LOUIS KAHN - IMPORTANCE OF A DRAWINGAn astounding treasury of drawings and plans from one of the 20th century’s greatest architects, offering unprecedented insight into his design process “The importance of a drawing is immense, because it’s the architect’s language,” said the architect Louis Kahn to his masterclass in 1967. While Kahn’s built work has been extensively studied, this publication chooses instead to focus on his drawings as primary sources of insight into his architectural intelligence and imagination. Lavishly illustrated with over 600 high-quality reproductions of work by Kahn and his associates, incisively presented by a group of acclaimed architectural experts, The Importance of a Drawing is a deep immersion into Kahn’s work and his design process. |
