By the time of his mysterious death in 1974, he was widely recognized as one of the greatest architects of his era. Yet this enormous reputation was based on only a handful of masterpieces, all built during the last fifteen years of his life. This warm, captivating person, beloved by students and admired by colleagues, was also a secretive man hiding under a series of masks.... Interspersed throughout her account of Kahn's life and career are exhilarating "in situ" descriptions of what it feels like to move through his built structures."--Book jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Kahn Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 720.92 Kahn Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 720.92 Kahn Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList
