This captivating book delves into the profound thought and meticulous practice of renowned architect Louis I. Kahn (1901-1974), shedding light on his final masterpiece: the Yale Center for British Art. Serving as the inaugural director of this architectural gem, author Jules David Prown played a pivotal role in selecting Kahn as the architect for the project in 1969. Prown remained closely involved in the planning and construction process until Kahn's untimely passing, just three years before the Center's grand opening. Through direct quotations from Kahn, accompanied by photographs and detailed drawings, Prown skillfully distills and elucidates the architect's philosophy, intricately woven into the very fabric of the Center.

As the inaugural volume in the series "On Center," this book sets the stage for an exploration into the captivating collections, rich history, and diverse professional activities of the Yale Center for British Art. Prepare to embark on a journey through the world of art and architecture, where the legacy of Louis I. Kahn continues to inspire and captivate.
