Description

Explore the architectural philosophy of Louis I. Kahn through this scholarly study from Routledge. This book examines how Kahn used tradition as a tool for design, focusing on two of his significant unbuilt projects: the Dominican Motherhouse of St. Catherine de Ricci in Pennsylvania and the Hurva Synagogue in Jerusalem. By analyzing these specific works, the text provides a new perspective on Kahn's methodology. It moves beyond common aesthetic assessments to show how a deep, humanistic study of historical rituals, ideas, and beliefs informed his creative process. Readers will see how Kahn managed to bridge the gap between historical tradition and modern innovation. This is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in the theoretical and historical foundations of architecture and the legacy of one of the most influential architects of the 20th century.
