		Two large Philadelphia commissions, the Mikveh Israel Synagogue and the Philadelphia College of Art, were unbuilt, so the Richards building remains the only major Kahn work in the city in which he spent almost his entire life.
		In the late fifties, Kahn was a consultant to the Philadelphia Planning Commission, but none of his proposals (though they entered the lexicon of urban design) were ever realized.
		The building made Kahn’s reputation but was not a functional success, and there were no more Penn commissions, even when it came time to build a new home for the Graduate School of Fine Arts (now School of Design), where Kahn taught.

		It would be ironic if, by misdiagnosing our present discontents, we were to return to policies of protectionism and centralized planning at the very time when countries as dissimilar as China, the Soviet Union, Chile, Australia, France, Spain, and Poland are all discovering the superiority of the free market.

		Musset's sprawling drama of Florentine intrigue, "Lorenzaccio" -- a work, by the way, that Musset never saw -- is finally being staged by an American company, the Shakespeare Theatre, in a version newly adapted by John Strand and directed by Michael Kahn.
		He's intrigued by the sophisticated portrayal of female characters in the plays of Alfred de Musset.
		Musset, a 19th-century French romanticist, a contemporary of Victor Hugo and discarded lover of the novelist George Sand, remains a mainstay on the stages of France.

	Louis Kahn : Architect (1901-1974) - Design/Designer Info
		From the 1951-53 Yale Art Gallery extension, to subsequent projects such as the 1954-59 Trenton Boathouse in New Jersey and the 1957-62 Richards Medical Towers in Philadelphia, Kahn combined visually compelling spaces with drama as the changing light transformed the sensory experience of being in the building at different times of the day and night.
		Kahn applied his principles to create buildings instilled with the spiritual qualities for which he strove through a masterful sense of space and light.
		By the time he began the 1959-67 Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, Kahn had mastered this approach to create his first masterpiece, an extraordinarily inspiring sequence of buildings.

	Thomas Deckker Architect: Publications and Exhibitions: The Encyclopaedia of Architectural Technology
		The environmental and constructional approach of Kahn's architecture made his work suitable for less-developed regions without sophisticated services such as the Indian subcontinent, as may be seen in the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, India (1962-74) and Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dacca, Bangladesh (1962-82).
		In the Richards Buildings, services were located in closed brick towers distinct from the more open office and lab areas, while in the Salk Institute services occupied entire floors threaded through a Vierendeel structure.
		These services were always in concealed ducts, similar to hollow masonry poché, the opposite of contemporary architectural movements, such as Brutalism, with which he otherwise had much affinity.

		Kahn's resolution was first fully expressed in the Alfred Newton Richards Medical Research Building at the University of Pennsylvania (above), which he started in 1957, and which was quickly recognized as a significant challenge to the previous course of modern architecture.
		In the 17 th century, Newton's successful use of mathematics to describe both Earthly and celestial mechanics lent rationalism great support, and the 18 th century Enlightenment saw it extended from the natural sciences to human affairs.
		By the 19 th century the Industrial Revolution had seemingly confirmed the powers of rationalism not only to understand nature, but also to conquer nature; then, with Marx and Freud, rationalism was extended to history and consciousness.

		But Alfred Kahn, a veteran toy executive who helped popularize Cabbage Patch dolls, was convinced the concept would work in the United States.
		Kahn and Kenney had seen Pokemon's popularity during visits to Japan, and they patiently worked to persuade Nintendo execs to introduce it in America with 4Kids' help.
		Pokemon (pronounced poh-kay-mahn) is a shortened version of the Japanese shorthand for "pocket monster." It's a game in which human "trainers" collect cute, animated characters with names such as Charizard and Alakazam, and send them into battles with characters held by other trainers.
