Kahn, whose many buildings include the Salk Institute, the Yale Study Center, and the Exeter Library. Kahn searched for beginnings: the origin of joy and wonder, of intelligence, and intuition. He sought the basic principles of being, which he called Silence and Light. He spoke of these qualities with a tremendous yet gentle power. Reading his words, we feel that we are listening to a poet of the human spirit. For Kahn, the study of architecture was the study of human beings, their highest aspirations and most profound truths. He searched for forms and materials to express the subtlety and the grandeur of life. In his buildings, we see the realization of his vision. This is the first book about Kahn for a general audience and the first to bring together his own words with illustrations of his buildings. A major statement on human creativity, it shows us Louis Kahn the architect, visionary, and poet." . First Printing of the First Edition. Softcover. Near Fine condition.
