Louis Kahn is EXTREMELY famous in the architecture world, and this article doesn't do him justice. It would be nice if someone could do more research and expand this article.

Is he related to the architect of the Detroit area, Albert Kahn? Rmhermen 18:06, Aug 20, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Birthdate

According to the biographical documentary My Architect, Louis Kahn told his son he was not sure if he was born in 1901 or 1902. I'll change the article to reflect that. --Wechselstrom 04:31, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

It looks a bit awkward in its current state... I'm editing into a more legible form. Blahm 14:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Surname

I added a part about his original surname, which his son mentions in My Architect. Also, he was not related to Albert Kahn, since they were born with diferent surnames.
