To celebrate the 120th anniversary of Kahn's birth (2/20/21), we are publishing a facsimile of the first book released about him:
The Notebooks and Drawings of Louis I. Kahn
created by Richard Saul Wurman.
This elegant volume, from 1962, is distinguished by: 76 exquisitely reproduced Kahn drawings; Oversize: 11.25 inches by 15 inches by .5 inches; Four 3-page gatefolds; Gold-stamped linen covers and spine; Text of writings and speeches edited by Kahn himself.
A companion reader's guide will accompany the facsimile, with contributions from Wurman; all three of Kahn's children; Paul Goldberger; Jonas Salk's son, Jonathan; and the director of the Kahn Archives.
Please visit the project's website (www,louisikahn.com) for further details -- including how to sign up to receive updated publication information emails.
