Like Kahn; the book is not pedanticBy jack sidenerThis is the book I wish Id had when I started teaching - recollections by students of the unique architect and teacher Louis Kahn. Most of these student have gone on to teach; and tell how his singular method of teaching influenced them. Like Kahn; the book is not pedantic. Its insightful; very readable; and a major contribution to the Kahn archive.
