  • Kahn at Penn
    Kahn at Penn Louis I. Kahn is widely known as an architect of powerful buildings. But although much has been said about his buildings, almost nothing has been written about Kahn as an unconventional teacher and philosopher whose influence on his students was far-reaching. Teaching was vitally important for Kahn, and through his Master’s Class at the University of Pennsylvania, he exerted a significant effect on the future course of architectural practice and education. This book is a critical, in-depth study of Kahn’s philosophy of education and his unique pedagogy. It is the first extensive and comprehensive investi- gation of the Kahn Master’s Class as seen through the eyes of his graduate students at Penn. James F. Williamson is a Professor of Architecture at the University of Memphis and has also taught at the University of Pennsylvania, Yale, Drexel University, and Rhodes College. He holds two Master of Architecture degrees from Penn, where he was a student in Louis Kahn’s Master’s Class of 1974. He was later an Associate with Venturi, Scott Brown, and Associates. For over thirty years he practiced as a principal in his own firm in Memphis with special interests in religious and institutional architecture. Williamson was elected to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects in recognition of his contributions in architectural design and education. He is the recipient of the 2014 AIA Edward S. Frey Award for career contribu- tions to religious architecture and support of the allied arts.

Toward a New Approach to Evaluating Significance in Recent-Past Preservation Planning with a Case Study of 1960s Properties in Philadelphia County Abstract In evaluating a stock of recent-past buildings, it is important to stay alert to the ways in which recent-past heritage is more difficult to assess, and what we might be prone to do to make it easier to assess. It is not enough to involve numerous people in the process and to articulate our method of analysis. We as preservation professionals must also consciously strive to avoid cognitive shortcuts. We must set evaluative standards and choose priorities, without simply dismissing a great portion of the built environment as “crap” or accepting self-evidence as a measure of significance.

A Complicated Modernity: Philadelphia EXECUTIVE Architectural Design 1945-1980 DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE lthough the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places does not require Aa building to be of a specific age to be listed and protected, the National Register generally includes only buildings 50 years or older. Preservation organizations around the country have started to realize that buildings completed in 1960 are now 50 years old and eligible to be considered as “historic.” And, as time passes, an increasing number of build- ings from the mid-20th century will fall into that category. Preservationists interested in this period refer to it as “the recent past” and many organizations, including the National Trust for Historic Preservation, have started Gift of R.C.

The Philadelphia Award Records Collection 3081 The Philadelphia Award Records, 1899-2008 34 boxes, 28 vols., 14.7 lin. feet Collection 3081 Abstract Known as the Nobel Prize of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Award was established by Edward Bok in 1921 to honor those who made the community of Philadelphia prosperous through their service. The New York Times has said that it is the “greatest honor Philadelphia can bestow.” Edward Bok was born in the Netherlands in 1863 and moved with his family to Brooklyn, New York several years later. After working as a clerk for Western Union Telegraph Company, he embarked on a long career in publishing. Initially, he initially was an advertising manager for Charles Scribner’s Sons, where he founded The Brooklyn Magazine . His hard work caught the eye of Philadelphia publisher Cyrus Curtis, whose Ladies’ Home Journal had become one of the nation’s leading publications. In 1889, Curtis invited Bok to be the editor of the Ladies’ Home Journal , a position that he would hold until 1919.
