The origins of Louis Kahn, the charismatic architect. The world's first and long-awaited collection of all residential works. What ray of sunshine enters your room? - Louis Kahn Speaking of Louis Kahn, the first thing that comes to mind is the neat concrete buildings such as the Kimbell Art Museum and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. It is not widely known that he was passionate about design and was involved in nearly 50 housing projects, including planning proposals. There were 20 private residences, of which 9 were actually built. Until his death in 1974, Kahn is said to have never turned down a residential job, no matter how big the project was or how busy he was. What was housing for Louis Kahn? This question was the impetus for creating this book. I visited every existing Kern home, took photos, talked with the owners, and studied drawings at my alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania. It became clear that residential design was the origin of Kahn's design approach and the basis of all of his work. This book introduces all the houses from his first private residence in 1940 to his final years. Looking through his design approach to homes over more than 30 years, I feel like I've just completed my journey through Caen. --Hiroshi Saito
