Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture

For 20 years, “Louis Kahn – The Power of Architecture” is the first comprehensive publication about this architect, presenting all his major projects.

It includes essays by leading Kahn experts and a comprehensive illustrated biography with many new facts and insights about Kahn’s life and work. In a series of interviews, leading architects such as Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, Peter Zumthor and Sou Fujimoto underline Kahn’s importance in contemporary architectural discourse. An extensive catalog of works includes original drawings and architectural models from the Kahn archive.

The compendium is further enriched by a portfolio of Kahn’s travel drawings, as well as photographs by Thomas Florschuetz, which offer completely new views of the Salk Institute and the Indian Institute of Management.
