by Gerry May 13, 2023

My Erdman Shot and Kahn

My first exposure to Louis Kahn's work was when I entered Harriton High School as a Sophomore in September of 1965. I recall seeing what, at that time, seemed to me to be a very strange-looking building on the campus of Bryn Mawr College. What captured my attention was the,  just opened, Erdman Hall Dormitory, which overlooked Morris Avenue, near Montgomery … [Read more...] about Louis Kahn – My Architect Too
