"In 1969 and 1970, Louis I. Kahn (1901--1974)--one of America's greatest 20th-century
architects--participated in a series of interviews with a young German architectural
historian, Heinrich Klotz, then a visiting professor at Yale University, and John
W. Cook, who was teaching architecture at the Yale Divinity School. Louis I. Kahn
in Conversation provides the first full edited transcript of these candid, illuminating
interviews, which provide remarkable insights into Kahn's philosophy of architecture.
The conversations touch on many of his iconic works, including the unbuilt City Tower
Project for Philadelphia, the Yale University Art Gallery, the First Unitarian Church
in Rochester, and major international projects then under construction, as well as
the Yale Center for British Art, Kahn's final building, on which he was beginning
work at the time. Illustrated with dozens of plans, drawings, and photographs, the
book also features an introduction by Jules David Prown, the first director of the
Yale Center for British Art, who recommended Kahn as its architect"
