Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
Kahn, Louis Isadore (1901-1974)US architect. A follower of Mies van der Rohe, he developed a classically romantic style, in which functional ‘servant’ areas such as stairwells and air ducts feature prominently, often as towerlike structures surrounding the main living and working, or ‘served’, areas. Khan's projects are characterized by an imaginative use of concrete and brick and include the Yale Art Gallery 1953, for which he gained instant renown, the Richards Medical Research Building, University of Pennsylvania, 1957-61, and the Centre for British Art and Studies, Yale University 1969-74.
