Architectural description

edit

I think this article needs to talk about Kahn's architecture and the particular solutions he took for the gallery. There is more description about the building in one paragraph in the Kahn's article than in this entire article.

Quotation from Kahn's article: "Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut,(1951–1953), the first significant commission of Louis Kahn and his first masterpiece, replete with technical innovations. For example, he designed a hollow concrete tetrahedral space-frame that did away with the need for ductwork and reduced the floor-to-floor height by channeling air through the structure itself. Like many of Kahn's buildings, the Art Gallery makes subtle references to its context while overtly rejecting any historical style."
