02/05/2004 Entry: "My Architect"

"I think that a plan is a society of rooms. A real plan is one in which rooms have spoken to each other. When you see a plan, you can say that it is the structure of the spaces in their light." ~ Louis I. Kahn

The work and thoughts of Louis Kahn, arguably one of the most influential minds of modern architecture, has inspired us for years. This weekend the documentary My Architect A Son's Journey comes to the Bay Area. "My Architect is a tale of love and art, betrayal and forgiveness – in which the illegitimate son of a legendary artist undertakes a five year, worldwide exploration to understand his long-dead father." The critically acclaimed film opens this weekend at the Castro theater in San Francisco and Landmark's Act II in Berkeley. Learn more here.
