Details:

Louis I. Kahn is considered by many historians to have been the most important
architect of the second half of the twentieth century. Included among his
masterpieces is the Kimball Museum in Fort Worth. In My Architect: A Son's
Journey, a documentary by his son Nathaniel Kahn, we learn much about Louis
Kahn’s secretive and chaotic personal life—which included three families when
he died in the men’s room of a train station in 1974.

The younger Kahn visits most of his father’s major works and learns much on the
journey about both the architect and the man as he talks to colleagues,
contemporaries and the members of Kahn’s other families.

Admission is a $10 donation to the Dallas Center for Architecture. Refreshments
will be provided.

Please RSVP to info@DallasCFA.com.
Cost:         $10 donation to DCFA
