Description from the seller
Louis I. Kahn
Monograph curated by Romaldo Giurgola and Jaimini Mehta
This specific monograph from 1992, in French and German editions, is titled "Louis I. Kahn," written in collaboration by architects Romaldo Giurgola and Jaimini Mehta. It is considered a fundamental historical reference text for both students and professionals in the field.
The book offers a detailed critical analysis of Louis Kahn's design philosophy, focusing on the monumental use of concrete, pure geometric volumes, and the almost spiritual interaction between natural light and architectural silence. It includes essays and technical sheets of his most celebrated masterpieces, including the Salk Institute in California (visible on the cover of the right edition), the National Assembly of Bangladesh in Dhaka, the Kimbell Art Museum in Texas, and the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad.
The volume is in excellent condition. Cover without defects. Spine well bound. Inner pages clean with no underlining, creases, or stains. An excellent collectible/reference copy.
