Bundle for experts: On the Thoughtful Making of Spaces + Drawing to Find Out

Louis Kahn: Space and the Creative Process — Book Set

This special two-book set explores two essential aspects of Louis I. Kahn’s creative thinking: his understanding of architectural space and the central role of drawing in the development of architectural ideas.

On the Thoughtful Making of Spaces focuses on one of the most significant yet unrealized projects of the architect’s maturerhouse (1965–1969). By tracing the development of this project, readers gain a rare opportunity to see how Kahn sought the meaning of space through its social, formal, landscape, and contextual dimensions. The book also offers fresh perspectives on several of his best-known works and provides a deeper understanding of Kahn’s extraordinary influence on contemporary architecture.

Drawing to Find Out
