从维特拉设计博物馆一路走来，伦敦设计博物馆的一个新展览庆祝了20世纪有影响力的建筑师路易斯·卡恩(1901-1974年)，这位伟大的美国人以他的建筑造型专家和光的无与伦比的使用而闻名。

路易斯·卡恩(Louis Kahn)：“建筑的力量”(The Power Of Architecture)是通过丰富的建筑模型、原创素描、草图、照片和电影对这位有远见的建筑师的作品进行彻底探索的。事实上，展出的几个剪辑展示了对著名当代建筑师的采访-包括苏藤本(Sou Fujimoto)、伦佐·皮亚诺(Renzo Piano)、弗兰克·盖里(Frank Gehry)和彼得·祖默瑟(Peter Zumthor)，以及卡恩的前合作者，比如巴尔里希纳·

卡恩的杰作遍布全球，从美国的加利福尼亚到英国的埃克塞特和孟加拉国的达卡。他的建筑形形色色，从得克萨斯州沃斯堡的比丘·金贝尔艺术博物馆(Bijou KimBell Art Museum)到加利福尼亚州拉霍拉(La Jolla)的索尔克学院(Salk Institute)-去年伦佐·皮亚诺(Renzo Piano)的一项新扩建-他的影响也同样广泛，从历史参考和古代遗迹，到更现代的，现代的作品。然而，他所有的建筑都有一种场所感，代表着造物主对完美和建筑探索的追求。

展览从几个角度看这位杰出建筑师丰富的作品，这些作品以广泛的主题和各自的章节排列。“景观”考察了建筑师的作品与自然和水的关系，以及环境对他的工作的重要性；“社区”探讨了卡恩对建筑的社会意义和空间等级的处理方法；“科学”研究了卡恩对建筑中新形式的探索。展览的其他部分着重介绍了这位建筑师的早期生活和游历，以及他对城市和房子的态度。展览以著名的富兰克林·D·罗斯福四大自由公园(Franklin D Roosevelt Four Freeft Park)收场，于2012年10月竣工。

在展览结束前，围绕着一个丰富的活动计划，另有一个由爱丽丝·马斯特斯(Alice Master)创作、皮特·科勒德(Pete Colard)制作的独立电影装置在博物馆二楼放映，展示卡恩在当代背景下的作品。
