Better by Design Nearly 50 years after the publication of Louis Kahn’s monograph, a new edition presents the singular work of the architect in a fresh light

8

Simple symmetrical buildings separated by a gushing fountain comprise Louis Kahn’s design for the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, in La Jolla, California.

*Top,* an interior of the National Assembly Building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, designed by Khan and completed in 1982, after he’d already died; *above,* Khan at work in Venice.

The Salk Institute by day and night. On the autumnal and vernal equinoxes, the sunrise and sunset align perfectly with the institute’s fountain.

A page from a letter Kahn wrote to his editors, Richard Saul Wurman and Eugene Feldman. Despite being known for such heavy materials as brick and concrete, Kahn paid close attention to nature and the elements.

Kahn, photographed by Henri Cartier-Bresson in his office, in Philadelphia, 1960.

*Top,* Kahn’s 1956 concept study for Philadelphia’s downtown district, which looks strikingly similar to today’s; *above,* an interior of the library at Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, which Kahn designed in 1972.

The National Assembly Building in Dhaka, which featured heavily in Nathaniel Kahn’s *My Architect,* a 2003 documentary about his father.

*Top,* Jonas Salk (right), inventor of the polio vaccine, and Kahn at the Salk Institute, named after the virologist; *above,* Kahn’s concept study for the Mikveh Israel synagogue, in Philadelphia.
