As understood from the Yetken-Kahn dialogue carried in the book's title, this book is about the experiences of two architects who internalized architecture as a way of life, concerning the ordinary flow of life, the tonalities of music, the art of design, the experiences of a building beyond brick and mortar, its beginning, its formation, its life, its measurable and immeasurable values, and the essence of light and silence\u003cu\u003e.\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book, edited by Müge Cengizkan, translated by Özlem Erdoğdu Erkarslan, and designed by Utku Lomlu, is meeting readers through YEM Yayın.

Many friends encouraged me to write about Kahn. Initially, I considered writing a series of letters to my children, conveying my experiences with Lou and why his buildings were so special. However, I later realized that I should convey these to students in architecture schools and to my colleagues in practice. This would be the best way to communicate the design sensibility ingrained in his buildings and the ideas that gave rise to them. Gradually, I understood that what I wrote could not remain merely memories, but would shed light on the act of design. This also became a personal journey that allowed me to rediscover my own understanding of design. This book does not aim to explain Kahn’s architectural approach or his views. These memories are what I learned from my time with Kahn, from his class, his office, his buildings, and from being in the profession for all these years.

His interest in art led him to the art school in his city. Encouraged by his teacher and patron Charles L’Epplatenier, he embarked on long journeys. In 1907, he encountered reinforced concrete at the architectural office where he worked in Paris. In 1910-11, he was in an architectural office in Berlin. In late 1911, he arrived in the Ottoman Empire via the Balkans. The notes and sketchbooks he kept along the way later became this book. The architectural forms and solutions he encountered in Istanbul, Bursa, and Athens during this trip became the cornerstones of his architectural understanding.\u003cbr\u003eHis professional life, which began before the Great War, was interwoven with many pioneering ideas and practices. In 1920, he adopted the pseudonym Le Corbusier. In 1922, he opened an office in Paris. While building villas for his clients, he also developed pioneering ideas in urban planning. For Paris, which faced a serious housing problem due to rural-to-urban migration, he prepared the 'Ville Contemporaine' project in 1922, which envisioned the demolition of a part of the city center and its reconstruction with skyscrapers and prefabricated housing. The ideas in this project, if not in Paris, were implemented by American architects after World War II. He argued that mass production could be used in architecture as well as in automobiles, and could reduce costs. Instead of metric measurement in architecture, he designed and used the 'modulor' scale, which was based on the proportions of the human body. He also designed furniture for his homes. He wrote nearly 50 books explaining his ideas and works. Vers une Architecture (1923), La Ville Radieuse (1935), Quand les cathédrales étaient blanches (1937), Propos d’urbanisme (1946), Le modulor (1950) are some of them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46880684245235,"sku":"9789944886062","price":297.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/files\/sarkseyahati.webp?v=1744616630"}],"url":"https:\/\/yemkitabevi.com\/en-us\/collections\/ani-biyografi-1\/yazar_mehmet-konuralp.oembed","provider":"YEM Kitabevi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
