stop #4: kahn


Yale Center for British Art
Louis Kahn
1969-1974

i have featured this one before. (please refer to post "very nice indeed" 3.8.05). i saved this one for last. this could be one of the finest buildings on the east coast. it has the best natural light of any space i have ever been in, and the architecture is completley timeless. yes it has a modern leaning, but when you really experience a kahn building, you can imagine it has been there for a hundred years.
