      Some random thoughts..

      I admit, my motivation to watch this documentary is quite intentional as I need to find some resources to get my goddamn paper down. Then, this artistic and sentimental peice totally blew my mind away. I like the way how Nathaniel relate Louis Kahn's masterful architectures to his chaotic private lives and finally presents a vivid and janus-faced Louis, who insisted his artisty in architecture while showing his constant interests in women.

      Interesting to notice that almost every...

      The Salk Institute: The portrayal of shocking scenes

      *Louis Kahn's illegitimate son visits his father's building decades after Kahn's death Kahn's son wears roller skates and dances with a sense of ambiguity against the backdrop of the Salk Institute's clean, one-piece concrete building Knowing that it is the solemnity of the building, or the pure color picture brought by the monotonous gray, or Louis Kahn, who has a wife and daughter, but makes the other two girls think about it, and whether this man is proud of his father's...

      In fact, this is an illegitimate self-promotion journey.

      Title bullshit.
      Am I thinking of writing this in Silence and Light, or here. Because the feeling for Louis Kang actually comes from this movie, here it is.
      = =
      This piece is actually average, like the material is directly spliced ​​into a unit, many places can be more refined to make it look better.
      Getting this nomination is actually because of the name of Louis Connee's magic stick.
      But in the end in front of the Bangladesh parliament Building, my son said, I am the...

      Documenting love and art, betrayal and forgiveness

      I originally wanted to convey my feelings about this film in a few words, but I saw a short comment that said: "I don't like the excessive personal emotions of this documentary - the repeated reinforcement of parent-child relationship and grievances, and the ignorance of the building itself."
      I didn't expect to write enough reviews, so I opened a long review for a virgin on impulse to write a complete review.
      (ps.clork is also written for you, because you said that I am too...

      Nomadic Poets at 1501 Walnut Street

      The 1974 Penn Station underground hallway bathroom was the end of Louis Kahn's life, and the address that was painted out on his passport should probably have been 1501 Walnut Street rather than his residence. With the heart of a nomad, the resident of No. 1501 writes poems between the built and unbuilt works, between the three families and himself, between stillness, light, gloom and clumsiness.

      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...

    Movie quotes

    • Louis Kahn: How accidental our existences are, really, and how full of influence by circumstance.

    • 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.
