Résumé:

"Now ranked with Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Mies van der Rohe, Louis I. Kahn restored a reverence for history to modern arthitecture, while combining both into his own contemporary idiom." "This biographical study of the architect who fundamentally redefined twentieth-century architecture draws on more than one hundred interviews with colleagues, coworkers, clients, and family members and is illustrated with many previously unpublished photographs documenting the uniquely American rise of a poor immigrant to the pinnacle of the architectural world."--Jacket.
