When he’d ask a brick what it wanted to be, he’d say the brick would inevitably answer, “an arch.” And surely enough, Kahn created some phenomenally beautiful brick arches in his various projects across the world. If Kahn were alive today and were to ask an office building what it wanted to be, the words he would be least likely to hear would be “an apartment building.”Yes, exceptions exist but as has been widely documented, the characteristics that make structures well suited to serve office workers are generally the same characteristics that make them ill suited to serve residents.
