  • The Sixties and the Forgotten Man: a Non-Modest Proposal
    The Sixties and the Forgotten Man: A Non-Modest Proposal Peter E. Austin Peter E. Austin was Honors Professor of History and University Studies for sixteen years at St. Edward’s University. He is author of Baring Brothers and the Birth of Modern Finance (Pickering & Chatto, 2007), and is completing a manuscript on the historical relationship between lawyers and the economic growth of nations. Currently he directs The 1960s Project, a large study of the era that grew out of a large lecture course for college freshmen on the same topic. One July day long ago, a young man from Kansas decided to try his luck in the 1500- meter run at the annual US vs. British Commonwealth meet in Los Angeles. He set a world record that day against the Kenyan runner Kip Keino that stood for seven years. This was not new. As a younger man, he had shown promise in high school and was the first athlete his age to run a mile in under four minutes. By graduation, he had bested his own record several times and by nineteen had set a string of world records in the mile and half-mile. Ironically, this Topeka native had been cut from his school’s basketball, baseball, and track and field teams as a teenager, and running cross-country was a last resort. Determined by grit or his Presbyterian faith, Jim Ryun became the youngest male track athlete ever to qualify for the Olympics. Eventually he medaled in three sets of Games over twelve years, received Athlete of the Year Awards, was elected to the National Track and Field Hall of Fame; and upon retirement from 1 running, entered business, then national politics as a Congressman on the Republican ticket, and received the Medal of Freedom from President Trump in 2020.

Louis I. Kahn, 1968. (Model reconstruction by Kent Larson). Fig. 2 Temple of Amon, Karnak, Egypt. Louis I. Kahn, 1951. Hurvat haMidrash—the Ruin of the Oracle The Hurvah Synagogue of Louis Kahn and the Semantics of Nationalism In the Pantheon of 20th century architects, Louis Kahn occupies a singular place. Although Kahn was not exactly the “mystic” seer that some claim he is, his personal mythical quest for the “origins” of architecture gives him the status of something like a divine personage or Biblical prophet among architects, says Alexander Gorlin. We often lump Mies, Corbu and Gropius in one breath, and may trace out in a good day their family trees through their Team X and Situationist scions and their prattling post-modern grandchildren. But somewhere standing alone in the margins is the Ezekiel figure of Kahn, straddling simultaneously the Beaux-Arts universe of the early 20th century, CIAM modernism, and Neolithic and Bronze Age architecture. When Kahn was a toddler, the legend goes, he was drawn to inspect the light of glowing coal, which flared up suddenly in his face and permanently scarred the features around his mouth. Devotees of Kahn love to recount that story. As Gorlin observes, “The incident recalls the passage from the Book of Isaiah (XI, 66) where ‘one of the angels, with a glowing stone in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from off the altar, touched my mouth with it to cleanse me of sin.’”1 Actually, a closer precedent occurs in a Jewish Agaddic tale that recounts a similar event in the life of Moses, who purportedly placed a glowing coal in his mouth as a babe so that it scorched his tongue and made him “halting in speech”.

  • Columns of Light Louis Kahn's Design for Sanctuary of The
    QUOTATION: What does history have in store for architecture today? Columns of Light Louis Kahn’s Design For Sanctuary Of The Mikveh Israel Synagogue (Philadelphia, 1961-72) Peter Kohane UNSW Sydney Abstract The conference theme of quotation is addressed by considering Kahn’s studies during the 1950s of renowned past and present buildings, including medieval monuments in Albi, the Chapel Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp and the Temple of Apollo in Corinth. These will contribute to an interpretation of his scheme for the Mikveh Israel Synagogue (Philadelphia, un-built, 1961-72). Emphasis is placed on hollow columns, which he discerned in buildings seen when travelling in Europe and invoked in the synagogue project. Its most significant interior, which is the sanctuary, incorporates peripheral columns of light. In a series of sketches made in Albi, Kahn stressed that the Bishop’s Palace and the cathedral are linked through their shared use of hollow columns. This informed work in his office on the Mikveh Israel project, specifically models that demonstrated the role of a basic column: it was adapted and repeated to create versions that articulate and connect the three main buildings. These are brought together as an ensemble. When studying the interior of Le Corbusier’s building, Kahn noted that pilgrims worship within the three peripheral chapels. This inspired the scheme for the sanctuary, including a perspective from 1963, where members of the congregation are within hollow columns configured as luminous rooms. Analysis is based on two comparable drawings that accentuate light. In The Room, light resides within the two occupants.
