| Abstract |
The aim of this study is to understand the meaning of Form drawing in which Louis I. Kahn's principal thought is immanent through the detail analysis on design process of the Phillips Exeter Academy Library, based on his sketches and writings. The basic form is composed of three different space: one where students come together in the presence of books, another for the storage of books, and a third for reading in the light. Through the design process in the Exeter library, the basic form is maintained and it is derived from the consideration of the human activities in the library. Particularly, the basic form is shaped around the idea that learning necessarily involved two complementary activities: on the one hand, the quiet introspective act of reading, and the other, the interpersonal exchange of ideas. And the basic form plays an important role in controlling the relationship between program requirements and formal transformations in the design. |
