Art, Symphony, Needs

Louis I. Kahn (1986). “Louis I. Kahn: l'uomo, il maestro”

I sense a Threshold: Light to Silence, Silence to Light - an ambiance of inspiration, in which the desire to be, to express, crosses with the possible Light to Silence, Silence to Light crosses in the sanctuary of art.

Art, Inspiration, Light

A work of art... is not a living thing... that walks or runs. But the making of a life. That which gives you a reaction. To some it is the wonder of man's fingers. To some it is the wonder of the mind. To some it is the wonder of technique. And to some it is how real it is. To some, how transcendent it is. Like the 5th Symphony, it presents itself with a feeling that you know it, if you have heard it once.

Running, Art, Real

"My Architect", www.imdb.com. 2002.

Every time a student walks past a really urgent, expressive piece of architecture that belongs to his college, it can help reassure him that he does have that mind, does have that soul.

Art, Past, College

If people want to see Beaux-Arts, it's fine with me. I'm interested in good architecture as anybody else.

Art, People, Want

Louis I. Kahn (1983). “ルイス・カーン: 発想と意味”
