In the development of contemporary architecture, no one has had a greater influence than Louis I. Kahn, whose many buildings include the Salk Institute, the Yale Study Center, and the Exeter Library. He is remembered, however, not only as a master builder, but also as one of the most important and creative thinkers of the twentieth century.
In the development of contemporary architecture, no one has had a greater influence than Louis I. Kahn, whose many buildings include the Salk Institute, the Yale Study Center, and the Exeter Library.

For Kahn, the study of architecture was the study of human beings, their highest aspirations and most profound truths. He searched for forms and materials to express the subtlety and grandeur of life. In his buildings we see the realization of his vision: luminous surfaces that evoke a fundamental awe, silent courtyards that speak of the expansiveness and the sanctity of the spirit, monumental columns and graceful arches that embody dignity and strength.

他表达里却没有苦涩的东西，反复在跟人讲的：做建筑，减少压迫感，轻盈，通透。光线和宁静，把光源遮住，不要让人承受眩光干扰，呈现光给环境带来的质感变化。让不可测量的东西，存在于静谧里。简单地生活。快乐，存在。 今天的建筑师追求的是成为夸张且明亮的标志，他和很多受他影响的建筑师所设计的则是与之恰好相反的东西。
