Kahns architectural space is his handling of natural light. Kahn believed that architecture began with the \"making of a room \" and that \"a room is not a room without natural light.\" Throughout his career he endeavored to bring his interiors to light in the most imaginative ways. Kahn used passionate light and functional light  glaring light and indirect light  warm light and cold light  each working differently in his architecture. This book presents the best introduction to Kahns ideas about light in architecture. Using drawings  photographs  analytical diagrams  and critical descriptions  author Urs Buttiker investigates  in chronological order  Kahns lighting solutions in 49 of his best-known projects. The book contains a wealth of technical details covering the entire spectrum of light modulation employed by Kahn throughout his career: the ceiling-framed window  the lookout slot  the keyhole window  many variations of brise-soleil  sliding window shutters  double space envelopes  the light cylinder  light ports  and an endless variety of skylights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44930469822517,"sku":"ByrdShop_0823027724","price":100.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780823027729.jpg?v=1787602034","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/louis-i-kahn-light-and-space-9780823027729","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
