Kahn, originally published in 1962 and long out of print, was the first book on the architect to feature Kahns own images and wordsand it was Kahns favorite book on his work. It includes his early sketches, reproduced at full size, from his European travels in the 1950s as well as renderings of the designs for several of his notable buildings, along with unpublished speeches and excerpts from lectures, radio broadcasts, and other sources. In this magnificent sleeve-encased two-book set, a facsimile of the original publication is accompanied by an illustrated Readers Guide that features essays and commentary by writers such as scholar William Whitaker and Pulitzer Prizewinning critic Paul Goldberger, family members, and fellow architects such as Frank Gehry, Tadao Ando, and Denise Scott Brown that contextualize the enormous impact and continuing legacy of one of the twentieth centurys most influential architects.
