    One of my former employees worked for Kahn. He remembers when 2 wives showed up at his office at the same time. The secretary had to find ways to keep them apart. Luckily his office was on several floors. I have a small photo of Kahn at his last building while it was under construction. One f my friends had Kahn as a professor and he saw Lou at an airport reading an architecture magazine. he asked Lou what he was doing. Lou replied, “Looking for ideas”.

    I loved your video and I wanted to see it especially after I completed reading Harriet Patterson's book, 'Our days are like full years". I'm so sorry that she never had a true home and total life with him and her son, Nathanial.

    First off, I am very thankful for your documentary. Not enough people are talking about Khan. Second, I just wanted to say that I don’t think Louis Khan was just “finding his style” but rather he was looking to the divine and looking at objective truth in geometries and architecture theory and that made his projects sublime and beautiful. Needless to say, I appreciate your video and am grateful. Thank you!

    • @blessedarch
      @blessedarch  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thats an interesting point. Yeah I may have used the wrong words there, cause in his head, it wasn't really his style, but he was trying to as you said find the truth in his geometries and its only after he did it continuously did we categorize that pursuit as his 'style'

    Great mini-documentary to serve as an introduction to Louis Kahn! Also, fantastic effort in making the video!! I hope the community appreciates how long it takes to produces such a great piece of content! One building that should have been mentioned is the Philip Exeter Library as it is an example of the strong massing and gometrical compositions that influences most of the later buildings that came about

    I believe the Pennsylvania Station you show was long gone when Louis I Kahn died. He was to give a lecture in a class on urban architecture I was taking, and instead Vincent Scully gave one of the most electrifying lectures I have ever heard as a memorial to Kahn.

    @harperwelch5147 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great doc. Enjoyed it and very informative. Something could have been said about his careful balance of brutalist and expressive modern architecture. He was not a strict “modernist”. He enjoyed playful forms and wasn’t afraid to reference the past.

  • @ellearnot1200
    @ellearnot1200 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you very much for this informative and sensitive documentary. I recently visited the Salk Institute in La Jolla California. Without knowing that much about Louis Kahn's intention, I immediately had an emotional reaction and a sense of the sublime, hope and greatness---which is what Jonas Salk wanted and what Louis Kahn actualized. I'm a bit confused about why you call it Salk lake in your narrative. There is a majestic view of the Pacific Ocean. There is no known destination as the Salk lake institute. (There is Salt Lake City in Utah) There are also several typos in your presentation. It would be good to fix them, but please be assured that they did not detract from the content and sincerity of the presentation. Thank you again and I look forward to more BlessedArch and will recommend your channel to my art students.

    Thanks for the informative video. I’ve seen his work for years and didn’t know it was him.
    One thing though- Salk Lake is not a thing. There’s the Salk Institute in Southern California and there is Salt Lake City but there is no Salk Lake. I think you’re mixing things up when you smash that together.

    His buildings are remarkable. However, looking at Kahn, no one would have thought that he was a rolling stone. This is not to disparage him in any way. However, this is not to glorify his personal life either. This video nicely explains that Louis Kahn was a master at what he did. It also shows that he was human, too.
