Architecture and Design Presents a Screening of My Architect- A Son’s Journey

My Architect, a Son’s Journey

a film by Nathaniel Kahn, searching for his father, architect Louis Kahn
introduced by John McLeod, who was a consultant on the film.

Nathaniel Kahn barely knew his father, but many throughout the world did. He was the renowned architect Louis Kahn, who designed noteworthy buildings in California, Texas, and even Bangladesh. Nathaniel explores his father’s past, interviewing architects such as Frank O. Gehry, as well as members of the multiple families started by the philandering Louis. What emerges is a portrait of a brilliant but unreliable man whose creations, featured prominently in the film, still astound.
