Biographical/Historical Sketch

Louis I. Kahn was born in Estonia and raised in Philadelphia. He was trained in architecture in the Beaux-Arts tradition at the University of Pennsylvania under Paul Philippe Cret. As a mature architect, Kahn was distinguished from his contemporaries by his unique personal philosophy of architecture. His style is marked by a profound sense of history and pure geometry in design and by the texture of materials in construction. His legacy is as much in his teaching and his unbuilt designs as in his major built works. He lectured and wrote on architecture beginning in the 1930s. He taught at Yale University (1947-1955) and was Cret Professor of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania from 1956 until his death. Kahn's major built works include: Yale University Art Gallery; Alfred Newton Richards Medical Research Building, University of Pennsylvania; Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, California; First Unitarian Church and School, Rochester, New York; Performing Arts Theater, Fort Wayne, Indiana; Eleanor Donnelley Erdman Hall, Bryn Mawr College; Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India; Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka, Bangladesh; Library, Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, New Hampshire; Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas; Yale Center for British Art. When Kahn died unexpectedly of a heart attack in 1974, two of his most important works, the Yale Center for British Art and the national capital of Bangladesh at Dhaka, were still under construction. After his death, his office was closed, but his former associates completed, when possible, the projects under construction.

Scope and Content Note

Louis I. Kahn Collection 030 comprises drawings, office files, models, photographs, audiovisual materials and personal materials. This finding aid applies only to two series within Collection 030: Series IV, Photoprints, Transparencies and Negatives, and Series V, 35 mm. Slides. The Louis I. Kahn Collections comprise the entire professional archive of Louis I. Kahn, with the addition of personal materials. After Kahn's death, his estate faced substantial financial obligations, and the decision was made to liquidate the assets of the firm. The entire archive was purchased in 1976 by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) and was placed on permanent loan to the University of Pennsylvania the following year. The trustees of the University assumed responsibility for making the collection available for scholarly research, exhibit and publishing. After the projects still under construction at Kahn's death were brought to completion, documentation for those projects was donated to the Architectural Archives by Kahn's former associates. Personal materials were donated to the Architectural Archives by family and friends. Additional materials continue to be received.

Photographic materials in Series IV and Series V document Kahn's projects, both designs and built works. Subjects include drawings, models, sites, construction and buildings as built. Materials are arranged by medium and by size and then by project within each storage group. Project-related photographic materials found in other series have (for the most part) been transferred here. Dates range from 1941 to 1984. A small number of non-project photographs is also found, including portrait photographs of Kahn. Series V comprises a group of 35 mm. slides transferred from Kahn's office in binders. Some slides are dated, ranging from 1951 to 1974. Kahn may have used slides from this group to illustrate his lectures. Photographers include: George Alikakos, R. G. Anderson, Ronald C. Binks, Bernie Cleff, George Cserna, Robert Damora, Gabriel Delobbe, John Ebstel, Harold Feinstein, Richard R. Frame, Lionel Freedman, Y. Futagawa, Edward Gallob, Arnold Garfinkel, John Gecks, Gottscho-Schleisner, C.V.D. Hubbard, Baltazar Korab, Robert C. Lautman, Marshall D. Meyers, Joseph Molitor, Hans Namuth, Robert Perron, George Pohl, Marvin Rand, Umberto Riva, Cervin Robinson, Joan Ruggles, Moshe Safdie, Mildred Schmertz, Ben Schnall, Charles Schulze, Thomas F. Scott, Julius Shulman, Malcolm Smith, Ezra Stoller, Soichi Sunami, Minor White.
