Reviews
Kahn's sketches beautifully convey and combine both the conceptual and the physical dimensions of architecture-the moment when thought becomes visible. -Mohsen Mostafavi, Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of Architecture & Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor The Notebooks and Drawings of Louis I. Kahn gave architects the permission to 'be in conversation with your ideas.' The facsimile presents this intimate gift to a new generation. -David Rockwell, Founder and President, Rockwell Group [A] beautifully made testament to the enduring legacy of Louis Kahn . . . the notebooks so lovingly reproduced in this two volume set offer unparalleled and intimate access to Kahn's ideas and process, all illuminated by expert commentary. -Mark Lamster, University of Texas at Arlington Nature and manmade blended seamlessly. Looking over [Kahn's] sketches in The Notebooks and Drawings, I believe that this must have been his primary objective. . . . Utterly elevated and inspiring. -Calvin Tsao, architect principal, Tsao & McKown Architects [A] lavish, beautiful work, composed and comprised on the very edge of obsessive magic. An altogether fitting approach for the genius that was Lou Kahn. -Martin Pedersen, executive director of Common Edge
Not just a landmark in architectural history but also a touching and personal document assembled by one who knew Kahn. A full-spectrum portrayal of a creative force, from the monumental to the messy and back again. -Rowan Moore, The Observer
