Enrique Carrillo-Louis Kahn-Blog 2-Number 1

The first building I would like to go over is the Kimbell art museum in Fort Worth, TX. According to their website, Kahn wanted to create a building with “light to its theme.”

In this first photo, it shows how open the building is with the amount of windows. He stuck to his theme by making almost all of the exterior walls mostly windows to provide a natural light into the building.

According to the website, Kahn went with a vaulted ceiling, to help provide that natural light along with providing a tribute to the Roman arches he adored.
