Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture

Abstract

Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture is a consequent review and historic summary of Louis I. Kahn’s life, 20 years after the last exhibition about him1. This exhibition, compiling the main works and research projects of Kahn, is a full experience that allows the public to get to know the life of one of the most important American architects of the 20th century2. The starting point of the exhibition is a chronological list of projects (1926-1974) of Kahn, entailing his works as a design consultant, unbuilt and constructed projects as well as urban plans, publications and exhibition material, that reveal a professional life full of ups and downs.
