By Louis Kahn and Michael Merrill

A fascinating treasury of drawings and plans from one of the 20th century s greatest architects, commented to open unprecedented insight into his design process. The importance of a drawing is immense, because it s the architect s language, said the architect Louis Kahn to his masterclass in 1967. While Kahn s built work has been extensively studied, this publication chooses instead to focus on his drawings as primary sources of insight into his architectural intelligence and imagination.
