The genius of modernism, Louis Kahn, is celebrated through new collaborations.

Hier ist der Text:

Louis Kahn's work, though little recognized early in his career, became widely recognized later in his later life and after his untimely death in 1974.

The architect is known for his use of light, material and familiar geometric shapes - circles, squares, triangles, cubes, pyramids, spheres, tetrahedrons - in a way that is both organic and systematic. This led to a global influence rare for its time and a number of recognized masterpieces such as the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, the Kimbell Art Museum, the Bangladesh National Assembly Building, Four Freedoms Park, the Phillips Exeter Academy Library and Dining Hall, and the Yale University Art Gallery.

This year saw the publication of Louis Kahn's book, The Last Notebook, which offers a very personal insight into Kahn's mind.

It is a reproduction of the architect's last notebook, in thewhichShows his early sketches of the Four Freedoms Park, interiors and furniture drawings, notes to himself, and a draft of a thank-you speech.

At the same time, Form Portfolios sheds light on the architect's furniture and practice, creating a holistic experience from building form and details to built-in shelves, desks and tables, lamps, chairs and more - all designed by Kahn in his distinctive style.

Now our op-ed news, architecture and design questionnaire offers a unique look at Kahn's work and legacy, releasing a line of furniture and lighting from the side of the Kahn brand over the next year.
