Louis Kahn
Every architect knows the prolific and groundbreaking work of Louis Kahn, but few average people know more than I.M. Pei and Frank Lloyd Wright. He was first brought to the attention of the general public in the film “My Architect” by his son Nathaniel Kahn. Part of the interest was generated by the circumstances of his death… he was found dead in the men’s room at Penn Station, when Nathaniel was 11. The journey he takes into his father’s life reveals multiple families, which adds to his lurid mystique. But the central element of his genius remains the extraordinary works of architecture around the world, and as the film takes us from building to building, you are confronted with the enormity of his vision and realize what was lost. If you look up Louis Kahn in either Google or Wiki, there are some gpood photos of his works.
