About this book
Louis Kahn: The Importance of a Drawing studies the American architect through his drawings and those of his associates, treating them as primary sources on his design process. It was published by Lars Müller Publishers in 2021 as a 511-page hardcover for designers and students of architecture.
The book includes over 900 reproductions, with texts woven around the drawings. Kahn told his students in 1967 that the importance of a drawing is immense, because it is the architect’s language. Contributors include Michael Merrill, David Leatherbarrow, Robert McCarter, Nathaniel Kahn, and William Whitaker.
Kahn, who lived from 1901 to 1974, designed the National Parliament in Dhaka, the Salk Institute, and the Kimbell Art Museum, and taught at Yale and the University of Pennsylvania.
