Architectural insight
You don't need to be an architect to see "My Architect: A Son's Journey," which will be presented as part of the AIA Honolulu Film Series at 7 p.m. next Friday. Prepaid reservations being taken at 545-4242, ext. 10; the deadline is 4 p.m. Wednesday. Without reservations, admission is $15 at the door at Restaurant Row Theatres.The event will be preceded by a 5:30 p.m. pupu reception.
The life of Louis Kahn, arguably the most important architect of the second half of the 20th century, is examined in this film, directed and narrated by his son, Nathaniel. Kahn's greatest works include the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas; the Salk Institute in La Jolla, Calif.; and the Capital Complex at Dhaka, Bangladesh, begun in 1962 and completed after his death.
The film includes interviews with a wide range of people, from celebrated architects to cab drivers, which provide fascinating, hilarious and critical insights into Kahn's professional and conflicted personal life, which ended in 1974 under curious circumstances.
Following the screening, a panel moderated by local architect Matt Gilbertson will discuss issues raised by the film and look for links to how this architect and his work might influence our current aspirations in Hawaii for design excellence.
