Kahn’s design
In the middle of the 20th Century, Louis Kahn, an American architect, rose to frame for his unique and considerate approach to modernist architecture. He developed a monumental and humanistic style through the use of elemental forms, careful consideration of natural light, and rich materials ² . His innovative designs for public and institutional buildings, like the National Assembly Building in Bangladesh and the Salk Institute in California, which have been praised for their timeless beauty and distinctive use of light and space, are examples of how his influence can be seen on architecture. His legacy continues to inspire architects, designers and students around the world to this day.
