I used to think Lu was primarily a theoretician. Now I have to change my mind about him. I like his work very much, and recently I am analyzing the use of light and concrete in his work.

Before going abroad, I knew very little about Louis Kahn, and I found that he was a person as important as Cobb in the eyes of the teacher. The film gave me very little information, only a few architectural scenes were beautifully shot, showing Lu Xiang timeless to show. Another movie, Silence and Light, gave me a preliminary understanding of Lu's work. I think Silence and Light is more worth watching than this movie. Recommended for those who are interested in architecture. There is also a book with the same name, but I haven't read it.

Louis Kahn: How accidental our existences are, really, and how full of influence by circumstance.

Louis Kahn: A work of art... is not a living thing... that walks or runs. But the making of a life. That which gives you a reaction. To some it is the wonder of man's fingers. To some it is the wonder of the mind. To some it is the wonder of technique. And to some it is how real it is. To some, how transcendent it is. Like the 5th Symphony, it presents itself with a feeling that you know it, if you have heard it once. And you look for it, and though you know it you must hear it again. Though you know it you must see it again. Truly, a work of art is one that tells us that Nature cannot make what man can make.
