Form, Material + Light

Following up with last Friday's post of our favorite images of the Library at Phillips Exeter by Louis Kahn...

Inspired by monumental structure of the past, Kahn created,  though the deliberate application of material and interplay of light, an  architecture that is unique, lasting, and expressive.  In the short film below, these elements are captured beautifully in an animation that is a work of art in itself.
