It's a really good documentary, I have to say that as an architecture student, the Salk Institute has been the most beautiful building I've been at, it caused a great deal of emotion and its beauty was just something way beyond believe. I wish Nathaniel could have done a bit more research on the Salk. Luis Barragan helped Kahn on the design. Great interview.
This is one of my favorite documentaries. The end section in Bangladesh is fabulously enriching and rewarding. I am grateful to have had the chance to see the interview on this site as I had missed it. Prior to seeing the film, I had no real appreciation of what goes into the art and it was so marvelous to have this opened up for me. The architects themselves - Mr Pei and Mr Johnson especially - were so generous and lovely that I am hoping to see some interviews with them as well.
