Ronald Glasbergen sprak met de kinderen van architect Louis Kahn over de overzichtstentoonstelling van zijn werk in het NAi. Rick Messemaker deed de registratie.
i'm an architecture student and need to make a design based on kahn. I see you love his work .. Do you recommend video's or books that explain his way of thinking or his look at his work? The work i need to analyse the most is the fisher house.
As has often been said Lou Kahn was an 'architects architect' which is saying a great deal! In his later life as a practicing arcitect he devoted his entire being to the art of architecture with little or no concern for the time/cost factor in coming up with the final design solution. One of his great proteges Doshi once said he was a 'mystic' in speaking about him and his work and Kahn enjoyed posing questions about his work like most great teachers. Kahn really did seriously think about the 'nature' of his 'work' and people's emotional respond to it. Nice video and discussion regarding Kahn exhibition. It's a real shame he worked himself to death!
There's the same kind of intensity and expression in Professor Kahn's architecture that Bernstein expressed in music. Humans were not intended to stay in caves of steel or stucco! A lot of good, useful buildings- let alone hospitals- could be built and saved with vision like that.
"I think it is amazing because it is timeless. If you walk trough Kahn his buildings you can not recognize a specific kind of fashion or a trend. You can see things witch also can be seen in gothic cathedrals from a 1000 years ago or Egypt temples from 3000 years ago. The way he is using light, materials, how a route through a building is organized, the way you can touch a certain material whereby the most solid materials come across as the most soft materials, those are very fundamental principles that concludes Kahn was not only an architect but also an artist. In this exhibition you can see the most important subjects in the works of Louis Kahn. the feeling for community, landscaping, the feeling of home. You can see it in the original materials. Such as maquettes, studies, drawing, very less photos only original materials. He tried to get a better grip on the most beautiful things that would come on his path by drawing and painting, and finally actually doing something with it." Here you go :)

In my opinion, Pei is Chinese, he was not afraid of the thousands of years old Chinese square, (later the Nazi used the Swatika) to design various buildings, as we see that from Kips bay to Everson Museum, Pei did a fantastic job. I think Everson was Pei's best design in his entire life. Kahn, being a Jew, He avoided the Swatika like poison. That was , and many Jews , the lost of the good design opportunities.

Each are different from one other.....pei doesn't want to create his own style....instead he want his design to connect with the community...that's what he called as good architecture...and louis kahn is different...he thinks design in a spiritual way which cannot done be everyone
Love from Bangladesh...
Louis khan is a part of our history...
Who have done the impossible...
Louis Kahn.....My Best ever Teacher who I didn't met at all.......

Pei's work didn't develop into a stylistic identity. Each of his work is different without a thread linking them.

universal power :) why just why people complicate it to sound smart!!! too bad
That's how architect tend to talk alot lol, when i studied architecture that how they all sounded. lol
Academics speak like this only. It's called nuance or texture
I always thought his octagons are so boring! George Wu, ARCHITCT, A.I.A., NCARB 2019-6-23
