Louis I. Kahn

Tokyo: A+U (Architecture and Urbanism), 1975. Pictorial cloth. Very Good +/Very Good. The uncommon Japanese catalogue, circa 1975 (just after Louis Kahn's death). Tight and VG+ in its pictorial white cloth. And in a decorative silver dustjacket, with drawn flourishes surrounding a simple, elegant photo of Louis Kahn teaching. Light wear along the spine crown, very mild creasing --and several tiny closed tears-- at the panel edges. Text almost exclusively in Japanese, except for the rear of the catalogue (Part Eight--Articles), which labels each tribute to Louis Kahn. And they include: Louis Kahn -- "I Love Beginnings"; Vincnt Scully -- "Works of Louis I. Kahn and His Method"; Stanford Anderson -- "Louis I. Kahn in the 1960's"; B.V. Doshi -- "Louis I. Kahn in India"; Fumihiko Maki -- "Contemporary Classic: Kimbell Art Museum"; Peter Smithson -- "Thinking of Louis I. Kahn"; and Uttam C. Jain -- "Obituary of a Poetic Genius
