About This Item
New York: Rizzoli, 2005. First Edition . Soft cover. Near Fine/Fine. A crisp, clean Near Fine trade paperback copy with foxing to top edges, crease on fore edge of spine. In a Fine mylar-protected dust jacket. Book designed by Massimo Vignelli. 448 pp., profusely illustrated, chronology, selected bibliography and index. This remains one of the most important scholarly and illustrative examinations of Kahn's life work and his philosophy of architecture. Photographs and descriptive analysis are followed by a biographical chronology of the architect's life and a complete list of his buildings and projects from 1925 to 1974. The primary texts critically address different dimensions and periods of Kahn's production.
