Synopsis
In-depth study of Louis Kahn's unbuilt masterpiece as an introduction to an evolving paradigm of architectural space., Louis Kahn's rethinking of modern architecture's paradigm of space is one of his lasting contributions to the métier. The drawings for the iconic unbuilt project for the Dominican Motherhouse (1965-69) provide an intimate view of the architect at work on a few fundamental questions of architectural space: seeking the sources of its meaning in its social, morphological, and landscape dimensions. This compelling case study opens the way to explorations of Khan's deepening understanding of space through several of his major works, providing new inroads to this architecture's rich spatial poetry. The result of extensive research, and generously illustrated with unpublished archival material and new diagrams, this book is both an ideal introduction to Khan's thought and a timely re-evaluation of a work of enduring relevance. Book jacket., A comprehensive analysis, in images and texts, of an unbuilt monastery by Louis Kahn It was not by chance that Louis Kahn's (1901-74) rise to fame coincided with a crisis in modern architecture: his work represented, increasingly with time, those aspects of spatial design which modernism had so ambitiously removed from its program. Kahn's rethinking of modern architecture's paradigm of space belongs to his most important contributions to the discipline, and his unbuilt 1965-69 project the Dominican Motherhouse, for Media, Pennsylvania, expresses this perfectly. A place of worship intended for the Sisters of St. Catherine de Ricci, it includes a sanctuary, a chapel, dormitory cells, classrooms, a kitchen, a meeting room, refectory and an entrance tower. Sadly the project never saw the light, as the Dominican Sisters diminished in numbers and the budget got tighter. In this volume we are given a close-up view of Kahn at work on a fundamental questions of architectural space: seeking the sources of its meaning in its social, morphological, landscape and contextual dimensions. A second section sheds new light on several other major works by Kahn. The result of extensive research, illustrated with unpublished archival material and new analytic drawings, this affordable volume is an indispensable companion to Louis Kahn: Drawing to Find Out ., It was not by chance that Louis Kahn's move into his profession's spotlight coincided with the crisis of modern architecture: representing, as his work increasingly did, those aspects of space which modernism had so ambitiously removed from its program. Kahn's rethinking of modern architecture's paradigm of space belongs to his most important contributions to the metier. In tracing the genesis of the unbuilt project for the Dominican Motherhouse (1965-69), we are given a close-up view of Kahn at work on a few fundamental questions of architectural space: seeking the sources of its meaning in its social, morphological, landscape and contextual dimensions. This rich and multivalent project opens the way to a second section, which sheds new light on several of major works in a timely reappraisal of Kahn's work. The result of extensive research, illustrated with unpublished archival material and new analytic drawings, this affordable volume is an indispensible companion to 'Louis Kahn: Drawing to Find Out.'
