Louis Kahn was the king of introverts. But he gave us introverts an important hint - if we use our talents in the right direction, we introverts can survive through this world, and reach greatness. Thank you, Mr. Kahn.

I visited the National Assembly building in Dhaka as an 11 year old. At the time, I had no idea about Louis Kahn, I just thought they were really cool, awe-inspiring buildings. I didn’t realize the significance of Kahn and those buildings until I saw the Oscar-nominated documentary “My Architect” by Kahn’s son Nathaniel.

This man went to a war-torn impoverished country in the 70s and stayed there for a while to design their national parliament building, a landmark that houses the sense of democracy of that country. I am Bangladeshi and I am eternally grateful for the parliament building he designed for us. No camera can capture the true beauty of the entire complex. The way Kahn integrated the waterbody, the natural light, the acoustics in the design- being inside the building transports you to a different world altogether. Thanks, maestro!

The thing is, you see the beauty of these buildings only once you have been convinced that they are beautiful and accepted certain values, like that ornament is bad and minimalism is good. Also they work best as isolated statements surrounded by nature. These limits are a big problem. Because most of us like ornament and most of us live surrounded by many buildings, not in a remote modernist villa. And when you see it everywhere, the monotonous concrete is not serene anymore, it is just depressing. And no matter how much you tell us that we should feel different, we feel relieved when we leave a minimalist neighborhood and reach the rich and organic architecture of the 19th century or earlier.

I once heard it described this way. World War II traumatized the entire world. The artists and writers and architects who grew up during that time created un-human works. Sort of like, 'You want ugliness? You got it!' So, graphic art lost form; music lost melody, dance lost grace, writers lost plot, and architects designed protective bunkers inspired by trauma. Now we. later generations, are traumatized by these works. . . I don't know if it's true, but it makes sense to me.

When Bangladesh was under attack from Pakistan during their war for independence, the pakistani air force didnt bomb the Dhaka parliment building - then under construction - since it seemed to them from above like the ruins of an ancient fortress. To think that if Kahn wasn't the author of that building things wouldve gone very different. His contribution wasnt just to architecture alone.

I was a 21-year-old undergraduate when one of Kahn's last buildings opened to the public, the Yale Center for British Art, with galleries illuminated by sunlit atria (and retail space at street level). His modern Yale Art Gallery connected to OLD Street Hall, was one of the first building I frequented as a freshman. And my routine every day had me in buildings that had been designed by Eero Saarinen and Paul Rudolph -- cool, functional modernist stuff -- in addition to a lot of faux-revivalist stuff: Beaux Arts and American Collegiate Gothic. Then I would trundle off to lectures by Vincent Scully. It was an eye-opening trip, and I didn't have to mortgage my future to make it. I bussed tables and worked in record stores, and graduated without student debt. We hadn't yet fucked American youth by making education unaffordable. Thank you, Republicans, for mortgaging an educated America to pander to greed and capitalism.

Kahn was brilliant. We studied him like crazy at RPI. He was also an intense and almost maniacle man who had three families. His insane personal life doesn't detract from his brilliance as an architect. If anyone wants to know more about him, watch a documentary called "My Architect." It is made by one of his children. I think the son of a woman that Kahn was with when he was married to his second wife. It's nuts and beautiful.
