Cook and Heinrich Klotz, 1969-70","description":"In 1969 and 1970, Louis I. Kahn (1901-1974)--one of America's greatest 20th-century architects--participated in a series of interviews with a young German architectural historian, Heinrich Klotz, then a visiting professor at Yale University, and John W. Cook, who was teaching architecture at the Yale Divinity School. \u003ci\u003eLouis I. Kahn in Conversation\u003c\/i\u003e provides the first full edited transcript of these candid, illuminating interviews, which provide remarkable insights into Kahn's philosophy of architecture. The conversations touch on many of his iconic works, including the unbuilt City Tower Project for Philadelphia, the Yale University Art Gallery, the First Unitarian Church in Rochester, and major international projects then under construction, as well as the Yale Center for British Art, Kahn's final building, on which he was beginning work at the time. Illustrated with dozens of plans, drawings, and photographs, the book also features an introduction by Jules David Prown, the first director of the Yale Center for British Art, who recommended Kahn as its architect.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Yale Center for British Art, in association with Manuscripts and Archives, Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University and the Architectural Archives of the University of Pennsylvania\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jules David Prown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300208146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300208146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yc British Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.70w x 1.20d","brand":"Jules David Prown","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202630303999,"sku":"9780300208146","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4efef0f5-6f79-43a6-ab00-9fd3ca196348.jpg?v=1756832932","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/louis-i-kahn-in-conversation-jules-david-prown-9780300208146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
