KAHN, LOUIS I. Louis Kahn: essential texts : DAMAGED COPY. Edited by Robert Twombly. New York: W.W. Norton, 2003, later printing number line ending in 2 of the stated First Edition, 288pp., . "Louis Kahn (1901-1974), arguably the last great modern American architect, lectured, wrote essays, was interviewed and appeared at panel discussions, and issued countless statements to the press. Kahn published a handful of essays, but he preferred public speaking - whether formal lecture or more often, seemingly improvised remarks., All was not as causal as it may have appeared, however; as with his building, which he rethought, reworked, and reconceived, he prepared typescripts that were usually the result of multiple drafts, and when he repeated a speech to a second or third audience, he rewrote it yet again. Louis Kahn: Essential Texts is a unique anthology of twenty pieces, some never before published, representing his essential thinking as it evolved., Robert Twombly's incisive introduction and headnotes reveal the dynamism of Kahn's language, elucidate his keen aphorisms and sometimes abstruse terminology, and offer a useful distillation of basic Kahnian tenets." - CONTENTS: Introduction : Kahn's search -- Monumentality (1944) -- An approach to architectural education (1956) -- Talk at the conclusion of the Otterlo Congress (1959) -- Form and design (1960) -- The new art of urban design: are we equipped? (1960) -- Illustrations -- Discussion in Kahn's Office (1961) -- The nature of nature (1961) -- Law and rule in architecture (1961, 1962) -- Lecture at International Design Conference, Aspen, Colorado (1962) -- Lecture at Yale University (1963) -- Lecture at a conference on "Medicine in the year 2000" (1964) -- Conversation with Karl Linn (1965) -- Lecture to the Boston Society of Architects (1966) -- Space and the inspirations (1967) -- Silence and light (1968. 1969) -- The room, the street, and human agreement (1971) -- Address to naturalized citizens (1971) -- Lecture at Pratt Institute (1973). 9780393731132 ISBN 0393731138.
