{"product_id":"louis-kahn-drawing-to-find-out","title":"Louis Kahn: Drawing to Find Out","description":"Like few others, Louis Kahn cultivated the craft of drawing as a means to architecture. His personal design drawings - seen either as a method of discovery or for themselves - are unique in the twentieth century. Over two hundred - mostly unpublished - drawings by Kahn and his associates are woven together with a lively and informed commentary into an intimate biography of an architectural idea. Unfolding around the iconic project for the Dominican Motherhouse (1965 - 69) the drawings form a narrative which not only reveals the richness and hidden dimensions of this unbuilt masterpiece, but provides compelling insights into Louis Kahn's mature culture of designing. Kahn - long considered an 'architects' architect' - emerges as a vivid and instructive guide, provoking reflection on questions which continue to remain relevant: on how works are conceived, on how they might be perceived, on how they become part of human experience. Fascinating not only in their beauty, the drawings open a new and stimulating perspective on one of the past century's great architects.","brand":"Lars Muller Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40582397821013,"sku":"9783037782217N","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/ac0a8ab0-8692-4cc5-94ba-6b119fa1ba74.jpg?v=1681752606","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/louis-kahn-drawing-to-find-out","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
