The significance of the work of Louis I Kahn, one of the greatest
influences on post-WWII world architecture, has skyrocketed in the
twenty-first century. Robert McCarter's bestselling and
critically-acclaimed monograph explains how Kahn redefined Modern
architecture and why his work remains a fundamental source for
architects and designers today. Now thoughtfully updated, this
comprehensive and extensively illustrated overview features both built
and unbuilt projects, including Yale University Art Gallery, Kimbell Art
Museum, and the Salk Institute, along with his work in India and
Bangladesh, as well as a project realized forty years after Kahn's
death - New York City's Four Freedoms Park.
