Louis Kahn Study

Critical Composition: Symmetry - Relationship

Louis Kahn study: extraction of National Assembly’s plan symmetry and geometry through diagraming specific spatial relationships and representing plan characteristics through drawings and models.

A diagrammatic deconstruction of key ideas consisting of analytically selected information that demonstrates the interaction between visual concepts and program. Relationships can be identified through spatial hierarchy, symmetry, and proportion to create new interpretations of architectural organization.
