KAHN, LOUIS I. Louis Kahn: essential texts : DAMAGED COPY. Edited by Robert Twombly. New York: W.W. Norton, 2003, later printing number line ending in 2 of the stated First Edition, 288pp., . "Louis Kahn (1901-1974), arguably the last great modern American architect, lectured, wrote essays, was interviewed and appeared at panel discussions, and issued countless statements to the press. Kahn published a handful of essays, but he preferred public speaking - whether formal lecture or more often, seemingly improvised remarks., All was not as causal as it may have appeared, however; as with his building, which he rethought, reworked, and reconceived, he prepared typescripts that were usually the result of multiple drafts, and when he repeated a speech to a second or third audience, he rewrote it yet again. Louis Kahn: Essential Texts is a unique anthology of twenty pieces, some never before published, representing his essential thinking as it evolved., Robert Twombly's incisive introduction and headnotes reveal the dynamism of Kahn's language, elucidate his keen aphorisms and sometimes abstruse terminology, and offer a useful distillation of basic Kahnian tenets." - CONTENTS: Introduction : Kahn's search -- Monumentality (1944) -- An approach to architectural education (1956) -- Talk at the conclusion of the Otterlo Congress (1959) -- Form and design (1960) -- The new art of urban design: are we equipped? (1960) -- Illustrations -- Discussion in Kahn's Office (1961) -- The nature of nature (1961) -- Law and rule in architecture (1961, 1962) -- Lecture at International Design Conference, Aspen, Colorado (1962) -- Lecture at Yale University (1963) -- Lecture at a conference on "Medicine in the year 2000" (1964) -- Conversation with Karl Linn (1965) -- Lecture to the Boston Society of Architects (1966) -- Space and the inspirations (1967) -- Silence and light (1968. 1969) -- The room, the street, and human agreement (1971) -- Address to naturalized citizens (1971) -- Lecture at Pratt Institute (1973). 9780393731132 ISBN 0393731138.

PAPERBACK, cover price $12.95, thin stain on bottom and top foredges, otherwise still quite good copy. red remainder dot on bottom foredge. WESCOTT, GLENWAY. The pilgrim hawk: a love story. Introduction by Michael Cunningham. New York: Review Books, 2001, xx, 108pp., . Series: New York Review Books classics This powerful short novel describes the events of a single afternoon. Alwyn Towers, an American expatriate and sometime novelist, is staying with a friend outside of Paris, when a well-heeled, itinerant Irish couple drops in - with Lucy, their trained hawk, a restless, sullen, disturbingly totemic presence. Lunch is prepared, drink flows. A masquerade, at once harrowing and farcical, begins. A work of classical elegance and concision, The Pilgrim Hawk stands with Faulkner's The Bear as one of the finest American short novels: a beautifully crafted story that is also a poignant evocation of the implacable power of love. 9780940322561 ISBN 0940322560.

PAPERBACK, cover price $3.45, very good, light wear, 1971 printing with red cover. previous owner's name. WITTKOWER, RUDOLF. Architectural Principles of the Age of Humanism. New York: W. W. Norton, 1971, later printing, 48 illustrations in plates, 173pp., . Cover design by Todd Ash. N599. Includes three-page preface dated 1971. First published in 1949. "The general impact of Professor Wittkower's book on a whole generation of post-war architectural students is one of the phenomena of our time. Its exposition of a body of architectural theory in which function and form were significantly linked by the objective laws governing the Cosmos (as Alberti and Palladio understood them) suddenly offered a way out of the doldrum of routine-functionalist abdications, and neo-Palladianism became the order of the day. The effect of Architectural Principles has made it by far the most important contribution - for evil as well as good - by any historian to English Architecture since Pioneers of the Modern Movement, and it precipitated a nice disputation on the proper uses of history. The question became: Humanist principles to be followed? Or Humanist principles as an example of the kind of principles to look for?"
