Louis Kahn is a well known modernist era architect. I intend to complete my Construction Project in the style of a Louis Kahn Building. For this project we are developing a schematic plan for an open plan - column free warehouse with two storey office building attached. A 5X5m section of this building will be modelled at 1:10 showing the construction systems in use.
Kahn developed his famous style late in his career. Here are some of his buildings which are solid, light filled and show Kahns' strong influence from strong classical forms. They also betray his keen interest in expressing the natural imperfection of materials such as in situ concrete construction and the use of Travertine stone for paving.
