Louis I. Kahn Award

The Center for Architecture and Design is thrilled to present the 36th Louis I. Kahn Award to Herzog & de Meuron. The 2001 Pritzker Prize-winning Herzog & de Meuron is known for working on projects at every scale – from furniture to territorial studies – and approaching each project without preconceptions Notable examples of their work include the Tate Modern gallery in London, Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Germany National Stadium in Beijing, China, the main stadium for the 2008 Olympics, and Prada Aoyama in Tokyo. In November 2022, the firm broke ground on the much-anticipated Calder Gardens dedicated to the works of Alexander Calder on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia.

Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture

The story of master architect Louis Kahn (1901 – 1974) is intrinsically connected to Philadelphia, where he spent most of his life and career. Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture is the first major retrospective of Kahn’s work in two decades, encompassing over 200 objects related to Kahn’s buildings and projects in the form of architectural models, plans, original drawings, photographs, and films. With complex spatial compositions and a choreographic mastery of light, Kahn created buildings of archaic beauty and powerful universal symbolism. The Fabric Workshop and Museum is proud to be the final venue of the international tour.

Symposium: Mass Customization and Design Democratization

Thanks to parametric design and digital fabrication it is now possible to massproduce non-standard, highly differentiated products, from shoes and tableware to furniture and now even houses. Variety no longer compromises the efficiency and economy of production. Furthermore, parametric definitions of products’ geometry are made accessible via interactive websites to anyone, who could then design their own, unique versions of the product. Such “democratization” of design – through mass-customization – raises many interesting questions such as the authorship of design and the functional and esthetic quality of products (shoes, tableware, furniture, houses…) designed by non-designers. This symposium explores social, cultural and design implications of this emerging “design democracy”, including its technological origins.
