Trade Paperback. Condizione: Used - Very Good. This condensed edition of' Louis I. Kahn: In the Realm of Architecture' is a definitive and richly illustrated volume that presents the oeuvre of one of this century's most influential practitioners, teachers, and thinkers in architecture. Here is the detailed account of the architecture and philosophy of Louis Kahn, whose buildings have become the very signature of the modernist aesthetic and whose vision permanently changed the direction of American architecture. Kahn's career is documented here with meticulous attention to all aspects of his work-- from his own fascinating biography to the unique philosophy that underlies his buildings to the structures themselves. The stunning range of Kahn's architectural vision becomes fully apparent: his structures are at once solemn and resonant, elemental and musical. Extraordinary, exclusively commissioned color photographs of his masterworks-- the Yale Center for British Art, the National Assembly complex at Dhaka, Bangladesh, the Kimbell Art Museum, the Indian Institute of Management, the Salk Institute-- exquisitely demonstrate how Kahn's architecture wholly reinvents space and light. In all, more than two hundred illustrations, including numerous drawings and floor plans, accompany the painstakingly researched text. This volume-- published in association with the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and with the exclusive participation of the Louis I. Kahn Collection-- contains six principal essays that critically address different dimensions and periods of Kahn's architecture. The essays and photography are accompanied by succinct notes and captions, as well as a complete list of buildings and projects and an index, makingthis book the preeminent scholarly and illustrative source for Kahn's architecture. Open copy with light to mild wear, clean pages, nice binding.…

Softcover. A softcover book with black and white text on a gray spine. ix, 134 pages; illustrated in black-and-white. "In today's world, the question of what the future will bring--if, indeed, we are to have a future at all--has become a matter of critical concern. Through developments in science and technology, we are rapidly approaching the point where we will be able to comprehend and even control the present in order to predict the future more accurately than ever before. But the influence of the creative individual is one aspect of the future that always eludes such predictions. In this collection of essays, based on a series of lectures given at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, seven prominent intellectuals and artists speculate on the future of art in light of their own ideas about what the world will be like. Although historian Arnold Toynbee, anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss (perceptively interpreted by critic Annette Michelson), psychologist B. F. Skinner, and philosopher Herbert Marcuse envision the future in very different ways, each chooses to consider the arts in terms of the artist's role in society. The artists themselves (architect Louis Kahn, sculptor James Seawright, artist-author J. W. Burnham) characteristically look ahead to the artistic possibilities offered by technological advances rather than to their relationship with a future public. Revised by the authors for book publication, edited and introduced by Edward Fry, Associate curator of the Guggenheim Museum, these essays make up a provocative symposium which sheds a great deal of light on present-day thinking as it anticipates the world of tomorrow."
