Beginning with his earliest encounters with Modernism in the late 1920s and continuing through his iconic work of the 1960s and 1970s, the authors trace the evolution of the architect's thinking, which began and matured through his design of houses and their interiors, a process inspired by his interactions with clients and his admiration for vernacular building traditions. Richly illustrated with new and period photographs and original drawings, as well as previously unpublished materials from personal interviews, archives, and Kahn's own writings, The Houses of Louis Kahn shows how his ideas about domestic spaces challenged conventions, much like his major public commissions, and were developed into one of the most remarkable expressions of the American house.

Lucien Kroll, né en 1927, formé à l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure de La Cambre, vit et travaille à Bruxelles, au sein de l’Atelier d’Urbanisme, d’Architecture et d’Informatique Lucien Kroll, et avec sa femme Simone, jardinière, coloriste, potière. S’il se définit autant comme architecte ou urbaniste que simple citoyen, c’est que l’architecture pour lui est une affaire de relations, liant les individus entre eux et à leur environnement. L’Atelier Lucien Kroll travaille depuis le années 1960 avec la participation des habitants, et dans le plus grand respect du contexte : la recherche du "sentiment d’habiter" étant tout simplement impossible sans la contribution de coopératives d’habitants.

"A House in the Sun describes a number of solar house experiments in the 1940s and 1950s. The houses relied on the materials and ideas of modern architecture for both energy efficiency and claims to cultural relevance, and also developed out of a growing concern over global resource limits".
