Louis Kahn’s Architecture of the Room [Trenton Bath House, Esherick House, Exeter Library]

In this video, Stewart breaks down the floor plan design strategies of architect Louis Kahn (1901-1974) for how they treat and arrange rooms in servant/served configurations. After World War II showed us the dark underbelly of technology, the architecture that gave us “machines for living in'' seemed misguided and dehumanizing. In contrast to pre-war Modern architecture open and free plans, Louis Kahn considered new possibilities for rooms; believing their privacy and enclosures could work together in a ‘society of rooms.’ Beginning with a close look at the Trenton Bath House, the video includes computer animations, sketches, photographs, and historical narratives to trace the evolution of the room through other works by Louis Kahn like the Adler House, Esherick House, and the Exeter library ⁠— a monumental room of cultural memory.
