This paper's focus is to ascertain the "architectural essence" of Louis I. Kahn and his notion of "What it wants to be" as his permanent quest. For him the entrance, court, ambulatory and gateway is an unique and independent spatial components in Architecture. Therefore the 'connection space' between main space(served space) and subsidiary space(servant space) was important for him. The purpose of this paper is to find the formal features and characteristics of the 'connection space' and spatial composition in Kahn's typical public Architecture after the 50s. In his works, "Room" stands for both basic composition units and connection kit of space under the "Order" or Hierarchy. Each space of the kit is an individual space for inter-connection and is unified with geometrical orders of connection kits such as entrance hall, corridor, staircase and court. Such connection kits have independent forms and features so that and each space becomes independent in ordered Architecture. These provide the Architecture with the hierarchy by structural features and lights unify it in terms of "form". By these characteristics of 'connection space', the Spatial Composition of Kahn's public buildings can be classified into three categories : Unit Composite Type, Concentric Type, and Centralized Type. |
