The most famous tale is of the dialogue he advised students to engage in with their building materials; he believed that, if they were ever stuck for inspiration, they should ask their bricks and concrete for advice. “You say to a brick, ‘What do you want, brick? ‘I like an arch.’ And you say to brick, ‘Look, I want one, too, but arches are expensive and I can use a concrete lintel.’ And then you say: ‘What do you think of that, brick?’ Brick says: ‘I like an arch.’”

"Kahn-ye" West? It's not every day you read an article about Louis Kahn and Kanye West. In case you don't recognize it, the lead image is the stairwell in the Gallery's 1953 Louis Kahn-designed building. Come see it for yourself. We are open Tue-Fri 10-5; Thurs until 8pm (Sept-June); Sat & Sun 11-5.
