His works are unmistakable in their elegance, monolithic power, and architectural honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by Carter Wiseman, one of Kahn's most respected commentators, this book offers a succinct, accessible examination of the life and work of one of America's greatest architects. It traces the influence of his immigrant origins, his upbringing in poverty, his education, the impact of the Great Depression, and the arrival of Modernism on his life and work. Finally, it provides insight into why, as the legacy of many of his contemporaries has receded in importance, Kahn's has remained so durably influential. \u003ci\u003eLouis Kahn: A Life in Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e provides the best concise introduction available to this singular life and achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarter Wiseman is Lecturer at the Yale School of Architecture and author of \u003ci\u003eLouis I.
