Description
Louis I. Kahn's lecture "Silence and Light" offers a profound exploration of architecture as a spiritual pursuit. Delivered in 1969, this seminal work prefigures the twenty-first century's focus on sustainable design, making it a remarkably prescient text. The lecture is accompanied by an audio recording of Kahn speaking in English, as well as a CD featuring his words. To complement the original text, the editor has included a foreword written by Balkrishna V. Doshi, along with many previously unpublished images and drawings by Kahn himself. This book provides a unique insight into Kahn's philosophy on architecture, making it an essential read for anyone interested in sustainable design and the intersection of spirituality and creativity.
