Description: This book is a critical, in-depth study of Kahn's philosophy of education and his unique pedagogy.
Review Quotes:
"A value of Kahn at Penn: Transformative Teacher of Architecture (Routledge, 2015) is that editor and architect James Williamson included the scathing remarks of former Kahn students who felt Kahn's language was unnecessarily abstract and obscure, even to their ears shallow and misleading. These accusations have been issued elsewhere in print before - but in the context of this kind of symposium on Kahn as architectural pedagogue the reports by naysayers assure this book won't be taken as hagiography." - Norman Weinstein, Architectural Review
