Louis Kahn was one of the most revered architects of his time. He worked in various capacities for several architectural firms and founded his own business soon after. Kahn continued practicing as an architect and also became a professor at Yale School of Architecture and at the School of Design in the University of Pennsylvania. Most of his designs were colossal and extremely avant-garde, way ahead of the time in terms of design and styling. He was honored with a number of medals and at the time of his death, Kahn was known to the world as 'America's foremost living architect'. Some of his grandest and most iconic projects include the 'Urban and Traffic Study', 'Yale University Art Gallery', 'The Salk Institute', the 'Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad' and the 'Center of Philadelphia'.
