Summary:
This book analyzes the form and function of the final building designed by Louis I. Kahn (1901–1974): the Yale Center for British Art. As the Center’s first director, author Jules David Prown was instrumental in Kahn’s selection as the new building’s architect in 1969. He was present throughout the processes of planning and construction until the year of Kahn’s death, three years before the Center opened. Relying on direct quotations from Kahn, and using photographs and drawings, Prown distills and articulates the architect’s philosophy as it is embodied in the Center. Beginning with this volume, the series 'On Center' will explore the collections, history, and professional activities of the Yale Center for British Art.

Summary:
In 1969 and 1970, Louis I. Kahn (1901–1974) participated in a series of interviews with a young German architectural historian, Heinrich Klotz, then a visiting professor at Yale University, and John W. Cook, who was teaching architecture at the Yale Divinity School. Louis I. Kahn in Conversation provides the first full edited transcript of these candid, illuminating interviews, which provide insights into Kahn’s philosophy of architecture. The conversations touch on many of his iconic works, including the unbuilt City Tower Project for Philadelphia, the Yale University Art Gallery, the First Unitarian Church in Rochester, and major international projects then under construction, as well as the Yale Center for British Art, Kahn’s final building, on which he was beginning work at the time. Illustrated with dozens of plans, drawings, and photographs, the book also features an introduction by Jules David Prown, the first director of the Yale Center for British Art, who recommended Kahn as its architect.
