5.0 out of 5 stars
extraordinarily precise,
This review is from: Louis I. Kahn: Building Art and Building Science (Paperback)
Of all the literature about Louis Kahn, Thomas Leslie's book is precisely rooted in the struggle it took to translate Kahn's architectural visions into concrete manifestations. I applaud Leslie for not overly mystifying Kahn's philosophy or personality and for bringing credit to the many talented staff/collaborators that made Kahn's ideas better, such as Gus Kommendant, Marshall Meyers, Fred Langford, Jack MacAllister, Richard Kelly and others.
As a docent of the Salk Institute and Kahn enthusiast, this book has several historical facts that exist nowhere else. Its technically fascinating, well supported visually and accurately written. A must.

This review is from: Louis I. Kahn: Building Art and Building Science (Paperback)
Well written book talks about Kahn as a designer and how he conceptualized his buildings. The book's focus is on the integration of the many elements that go into a building and how they work with Kahn's designs.
