Louis Kahn: The Importance of a Drawing
An astounding treasury of drawings and plans from one of the 20th century's greatest architects, offering unprecedented insight into his design process 'The importance of a drawing is immense, because it's the architect's language,' famed architect Louis Kahn, one of the most significant architects of the 20th century, told his masterclass in 1967. While much of his built work has been heavily studied, this publication chooses instead to focus on Kahn's prolific arsenal of drawings and plans, some of which were never realized. The Importance of a Drawing provides an in-depth look into the subtleties of Kahn's designs, featuring incisive analysis from architectural experts and over 600 high-quality reproductions of work by Kahn and his associates. A testament to the architect's meticulous craft, this volume is an essential addition to the library of established designers as well as students of architecture.

Architecti
Two women, two cursed contracts, and a romance that could burn down heaven and hell. Mercedes Midnight is a reaper in debt with exactly one year left before hell comes to collect. Lucy Corvine, the devil's daughter and revered professor, is imprisoned by a contract she never agreed to. For nine long years, Midnight scoured graveyards and grimoires for a loophole, while Lucy wore a gilded smile and dreamed of revolt... Until a chance encounter sparks a pact neither of them can afford to break. When Midnight claws her way into Finis Academy, she and Lucy strike a perilous bargain: Lucy will train Midnight to win the academy's coveted demon favour and Midnight will break Lucy's contract. But this is no simple deal. Not when a secret cult is scheming to resurrect a fallen angel and the city is veering toward celestial war. They're going to have to trust each other... not easy when they're both hiding dangerous secrets. Harder still when stolen glances in candlelit libraries ignite a

My Architect
OBS! Import. Kontrollera att språk och textning passar dig.Louis Kahn, world-renowned architect of buildings including the Bangladeshi Capitol Building and the Salk Institute, had two illegitimate children with two different women outside his marriage. One of them, son Nathaniel, always hoped as a boy that his illustrious father might come to live with him and his mother, but Kahn never left his wife, and was instead found dead at Penn Station in 1974 when Nathaniel was just 11, having spent years in massive debt. In this film, Nathaniel Kahn traces his father's past from his childhood to the pinnacle of his career, and travels the world to look at the buildings he created. He also looks at Kahn's personal life, exploring the reasons for - and consequences of - his inability to cope with his personal and financial responsibilities. Throughout his journey he talks to his father's friends, family members, contemporaries, students and other associates.Typ: DVD
