1. Louis Isadore Kahn (March 5 February 20 ,1901 – March 17, 1974) was an
American architect based in Philadelphia. After working in various capacities for several
firms in Philadelphia, he founded his own atelier in 1935. While continuing his private
practice, he served as a design critic and professor of architecture at Yale School of
Architecture from 1947 to 1957.
From 1957 until his death, he was a professor of architecture at the School of Design at the
University of Pennsylvania. Kahn created a style that was monumental and monolithic; his
heavy buildings do not hide their weight, their materials, or the way they are assembled.
Louis Kahn's works are considered as monumental beyond modernism. Famous for his
meticulously built works, his provocative proposals that remained unbuilt, and his teaching,
Kahn was one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. He was awarded
the AIA Gold Medal and the RIBA Gold Medal. At the time of his death he was considered by
some as "America's foremost living architect."
