# Louis Kahn (@louis-kahn)

Louis Kahn was a Estonian-born American architect and influential teacher. The work is especially associated with monumental geometry, weighty materials, natural light, and a distinction between served and servant spaces. Major projects include the Salk Institute, Kimbell Art Museum, and National Assembly Building in Dhaka. A responsible account also considers a modern architecture grounded in institutional purpose and an almost archaic sense of presence.
