Louis Kahn: Drawing to Find Out - Merrill Michael
Like few others, Louis Kahn cultivated the craft of drawing as a means to architecture. Over two hundred - mostly unpublished - drawings by Kahn and his associates are woven together with a lively and informed commentary into an intimate biography of an architectural idea. His personal design drawings - seen either as a method of discovery or for themselves - are unique in the twentieth century.
