Bøger af Carter Wiseman

Written by Carter Wiseman, one of Louis Kahn's most respected commentators, this book offers a succinct, accessible examination of the life and work of one of America's greatest architects. It traces the influence on Kahn's architecture of his immigrant origins, his upbringing, his education, and the arrival of Modernism on his life and work.
