Louis Kahn in New Haven
August 17, 2016
Experiencing a Louis Kahn space is a special thing. The Yale Center for British Art was my first, soon followed by the Yale University Art Gallery across the street.
While the earlier work set a precedent for what Modern design could feel like, it was the Center for British Art that used materials, light and space to further awaken the human spirit.
