Description

This comprehensive and innovative study presents the fundamental features of Louis I. Kahn's architecture, and describes his key buildings. It is based on drawings prepared specially for this book, and on unpublished photographs.

The first building Louis I. Kahn planned and realized independently was a community centre for the "Ahavath Israel Congregation"; it is still standing in roughly its original state, and functioned in its intended role until 1982.
