About this product

Product Information

A man, his buildings, his secret lives a film by Nathaniel Kahn. A 2004 Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary, My Architect looks at the remarkable life of Louis Kahn, one of the most important architects of the twentieth century. His dramatic death in 1974 alone and unidentified in the men's room of New York's Penn Station revealed a triple life: in addition to his wife and daughter, Kahn left behind two illegitimate children by different women with whom he had long-term relationships. My Architect follows the five-year odyssey of Kahn's son, Nathaniel, as he travels the world to discover who his celebrated father was. My Architect is a riveting and highly emotional film and a fascinating portrait of an eccentric visionary and his chaotic life.

Down memory lane. A touching tale.
This DVD is especially meaningful to me, as the central figure in the story, architect Louis Kahn, was my professor when I studied under him at the University of Pennsylvania in 1957-58. I can personally resonate with so much that is related by his son, who made the original film. It is a touching tribute to Kahn by a loving son who yearned for a closer relationship with his father, but was denied this due to the son's illegitimacy. I have an old video cassette of the film but cannot play it due to lack of a working player. Hence your DVD is my chance of re-experiencing vivid memories of over 60 years ago. Thank you for this opportunity
