LOUIS I. KAHN “THE LAST NOTEBOOK”
Join The Dallas Architecture Forum and Dallas Museum of Art for a conversation with Sue Ann Kahn, the architect’s daughter, and Mark Gunderson, AIA. The program will occur at 2 pm Sunday, October 25, 2026 in the Horchow Auditorium of the DMA.
The program will focus on Kahn’s recent publication, a facsimile of her father’s private sketchbook from the last year of his life.
An artifact of historical importance, the Notebook’s pages give us an intimate glimpse into Kahn’s creative process and take us inside the mind of the master architect at the height of his career. Most importantly, his personality permeates its pages and brings the architect to life for a new generation. Kahn and Gunderson take us through its pages and the stories they reveal.
