My Architect - dvd

A man, his buildings, his secret lives – a film by Nathaniel Kahn. A 2004 Academy Award® nominee for Best Documentary, My Architect looks at the remarkable life of Louis Kahn, one of the most important architects of the twentieth century. His dramatic death in 1974 – alone and unidentified in the men's room of New York's Penn Station – revealed a triple life: in addition to his wife and daughter, Kahn left behind two illegitimate children by different women with whom he had long-term relationships. My Architect follows the five-year odyssey of Kahn's son, Nathaniel, as he travels the world to discover who his celebrated father was. My Architect is a riveting and highly emotional film and a fascinating portrait of an eccentric visionary and his chaotic life. Extras: Extensive extra footage, booklet.
