In 1931 the young Louis Kahn published his thoughts on "The Value and Aim in Sketching." (T-Square Club Journal of Philadelphia. May, 1931. p. 18-21.) Sketching my way through the SAH Louis Kahn tour presented an opportunity to reflect upon these Values and Aims.In his article Kahn states, "The capacity to see comes from persistently analysing our reactions to what we look at..." My entries here analyze some of my reactions in words and images. The process has helped me to "see" Kahn better. Perhaps blog readers will see something new in Kahn, too, or have reactions of their own.
