Kahn, Louis I., 1901-1974. Louis I. Kahn architectural records and personal papers, ca. 1908-1984.

Title: Louis I. Kahn architectural records and personal papers, ca. 1908-1984.

This collection comprises the entire professional archive of Louis I. Kahn, with the addition of personal materials. After Kahn's death, his estate faced substantial financial obligations, primarily wages and professional fees to consultants, and the decision was made to liquidate the assets of the firm. The entire archive was purchased in 1976 by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and was placed on permanent loan to the University of Pennsylvania the following year. The trustees of the University assumed responsibility for making the collection available for scholarly research, exhibition and publication. After the projects still under construction at Kahn's death were brought to completion, documentation for those projects was donated to the Architectural Archives by Kahn's former associates. Personal materials were donated to the Architectural Archives by family and friends. Additional materials continue to be received. Architectural drawings in Kahn's own hand include sketches for his built works and also a large number of important designs for works which were never built. His professional writings, published and unpublished, document his personal philosophy of architecture and his perspective on the architecture and urban planning of his time. Substantial documentation is found in this collection for all Kahn's mature works. Materials may include preliminary sketches, schematic drawings, design development drawings, construction drawings, construction photographs, office files and models. In addition, the collection includes photographs of completed buildings by distinguished photographers. Kahn's archive contains drawings by his associates and employees; no attempt has been made to identify and index drawings by a particular associate or employee. Oscar Stonorov and George Howe were his associates for a number of earlier projects. Anne Griswold Tyng made substantial design contributions to several Kahn projects. The national capital of Bangladesh at Dhaka was completed by David Wisdom & Associates (David Wisdom, Henry Wilcots and Reyhan T. Larimer). The Yale Center for British Art was completed by Pellechia and Meyers (Anthony Pellechia and Marshall D. Meyers). Professional correspondence includes letters to and from major architects of Kahn's period. Correspondence has not been indexed. Personal materials include childhood sketches, travel sketches, personal and family photographs, drawing materials and drafting equipment. In addition, a small amount of personal correspondence is found mixed in with professional correspondence. The collection contains only one student drawing from Kahn's architectural education at the University of Pennsylvania.
