My Architect
Born in Estonia and raised in Philadelphia, Louis I. Kahn was one of the 20th century's most important architects, blending the massive geometrics of classical works with a modernist style. Behind his art however, was a complex, clandestine private life that included a marriage and two illegitimate families. Director Nathaniel Kahn - Louis' son by one of his affairs, explores the many facets of his famed father's life and legacy in this acclaimed documentary.
