Louis Kahn: Conversations with Students (Architecture at Rice)
It is possible to admire without reservation Kahn's moving and pellucid architecture, but to be less enthusiastic about his sometimes recondite lectures and writings.  On the other hand, every new insight into the great man's thinking about design should be welcome.  This attractive little book offers a lecture, "White Light, Black Shadow," previously published in a 1986 anthology edited by Richard Saul Wurman, a questions-and-answer session with Rice University architecture students, and appreciations of Kahn by Lars Lerup and Michael Bell.  --Interior Design
