Repainted in 2020. After reading the analysis of the Salk Institute's works, I looked back. It seems that I have a better understanding of how to make my son truly identify with himself and his father after visiting Kang's architecture step by...

"When I was in Dhaka, I felt a connection with his spirit. His melancholy, loneliness, and happiness were all put into buildings. His buildings changed a country. The little boy standing by the water was his...

Stubborn and paranoid religious art The architects communicate with themselves. Architects need far more than professional skills. When Ieoh Ming Pei mentioned "quantity" and "quality", is it out of humility or with a sense of his own career Pity? There are always gaps that cannot be ignored between architects and architects, and they flow in the...

A very tough man. He must be an attractive man to have three women follow him. A Bangladeshi architect about Kang is very moving, he is a pure man, he has the heart of a child, he is closer to an artist, to...

7. Louis Kahn: being Jewish / being leading architect / being passage / being spiritual / being father of bastards. Nearly 2 hours of space, completed the search and confession of the origin of the self, but as for the beauty of the natural light diffusion of the art museum, as for the parliament How the democratic order of the hall is established is not part of what the film can or intends to present. Just look at the gossip and...

Louis Kahn: A work of art... is not a living thing... that walks or runs. But the making of a life. That which gives you a reaction. To some it is the wonder of man's fingers. To some it is the wonder of the mind. To some it is the wonder of technique. And to some it is how real it is. To some, how transcendent it is. Like the 5th Symphony, it presents itself with a feeling that you know it, if you have heard it once. And you look for it, and though you know it you must hear it again. Though you know it you must see it again. Truly, a work of art is one that tells us that Nature cannot make what man can make.

Louis Kahn: When you want to give something presence, you have to consult nature. And there is where design comes in. If you think of brick, for instance, you say to brick, "What do you want, brick?" And brick says to you, "I like an arch." And if you say to brick, "Look, arches are expensive, and I can use a concrete lintel over you. What do you think of that, brick?" brick says, "I like an arch."
[Students laugh]
Louis Kahn: And it's important, you see, that you honor the material that you use. You don't bandy it around as though you said, "Well, we have a lot of material around. We can do it one way, we can do it another." It's not true. You can only do it if you honor the brick, and glorify the brick, instead of just shortchanging it.
