Architect Louis Kahn

For the major project I will use Louis Kahn's works to influence the constructible nature of my design. Kahn was an American architect who used several techniques using concrete to effectively design his buildings. I will try to adapt some of these simple yet effective techniques.

The simplistic forms that Kahn creates with the basic material of concrete. A material that is easy to use yet can be used effectively.
