The format is approximately 6.5 inches by 8.25 inches. 272 pages. Illustrated cover (part in color). Illustrations. Notes. Building and Projects, 1925-1974. Index. Cover has flaps. This is a condensed edition of Louis Kahn: In the Realm of Architecture. Here is the detailed account of the architecture and philosophy of Louis Kahn, whose works have become a signature of the modernist aesthetic and whose vision permanently changed the direction of American architecture. Introduction by Vincent Scully. Preface by Julia Moore Converse. This contains six chapters: Adventures of Unexplored Places Defining a Philosophy, 1901-19511' The Mind Opens to Realizations Conceiving a New Architecture, 1951-1961; Assembly.A Place of transcendence Designs for Meeting; The Houses of the Inspirations Designs for Study; The Forum of the Availabilities Designs for Choice; and Light, The Giver of All Presences Designed to Honor Human Endeavor. Louis Isadore Kahn (born Itze-Leib Schmuilowsky; March 5 [O.S. February 20] 1901 – March 17, 1974) was an Estonian-born American architect based in Philadelphia. After working in various capacities for several firms in Philadelphia, he founded his own atelier in 1935. While continuing his private practice, he served as a design critic and professor of architecture at Yale School of Architecture from 1947 to 1957. From 1957 until his death, he was a professor of architecture at the School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania. Kahn created a style that was monumental and monolithic; his heavy buildings for the most part do not hide their weight, their materials, or the way they are assembled. He was awarded the AIA Gold Medal and the RIBA Gold Medal. At the time of his death, he was considered by some as "America's foremost living architect." Vincent Joseph Scully Jr. (August 21, 1920 – November 30, 2017)was an American art historian who was a Sterling Professor of the History of Art in Architecture at Yale University, and the author of several books on the subject. Architect Philip Johnson once described Scully as "the most influential architectural teacher ever." His lectures at Yale were known to attract casual visitors and packed houses, and regularly received standing ovations. Julia Moore Converse (1946-2020) worked as the curator and later as the Director of the Weitzman School’s Architectural Archives at the University of Pennsylvania. David Brownlee is a historian of modern architecture whose interests embrace a wide range of subjects in Europe and America, from the late eighteenth century to the present. His scholarship has been recognized with three major publication prizes from the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH). He served the SAH as editor of its Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians in 2008-2011, when he oversaw the launch of JSAH online, the magazine’s multimedia online platform. The SAH named him a Fellow in 2015 and established the David B. Brownlee Dissertation Award in his honor in 2020. David G. De Long is Professor Emeritus of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. Condensed Edition [stated]. Second Printing [stated]. …
