Kahn may prove very useful to students, and to anyone interested in gaining further knowledge of the distinctive features of the Kimbell museum. It documents the long and arduous quest that often characterizes a creative process - even that of a great master such as Louis I. Kahn. The design of the Kimbell Art Museum is the product of extraordinary intuition, and results in a masterly synthesis that solves all the problems posed by the site and the specific purpose of the construction."--BOOK JACKET Notes Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museo d'arte Mendrisio, c1999 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 163-165) Notes English Subject Kahn, Louis I., 1901-1974 -- Exhibitions.
