Embedded History
Louis Kahn’s Travel Sketches and the influence of Historic Architecture

Architects’ designs often reflect the spaces they’ve encountered during their travels. Exploring this idea, Clay Kiningham revisited key locations in Italy sketched by a young Louis Kahn, examining how historic architecture may have informed Kahn’s later work. Through drawings and analysis, the research reveals the subtle yet meaningful ways these early referential sketches shaped Kahn’s iconic architectural designs.

Free and open to the public. Spaces are limited. RSVP below.
