Tradition as Mediation: Louis I. Kahn: The Dominican Motherhouse & The Hurva Syn

Description: Tradition as Mediation: Louis I. Kahn by Dana Margalith Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book explores Louis I. Kahns approach to tradition as revealed in two of his important, unbuilt, projects. Focusing on Kahns designs for the Dominican Motherhouse of St. Catherine de Ricci, Media, Pennsylvania (1965-1969), and the Hurva Synagogue, Jerusalem, Israel (1967-1974), the book challenges prevailing aesthetic and methodological assessments of Kahns use of tradition. It reveals how an authentic and critical theoretical-historical and humanistic study of tradition nourished Kahns designs, enabling him to mediate historical rituals, ideas and beliefs – and to develop innovative designs rooted deep in human culture while addressing real modern concerns. The book evaluates Kahns works as a creative recreation and re-interpretation of the past, shedding light on the potential value of the meaningful consideration of tradition in modern times. Author Biography Dana Margalith is a lecturer at Tel-Aviv University, Israel, and a practicing architect. Details ISBN 1138673226 ISBN-13 9781138673229 Title Tradition as Mediation: Louis I.
