Mark your calendars for March 26, 2017 opening of the Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture exhibit at The Kimbell Museum, Fort Worth. Kahn is considered one of the great master builders of all time and designed The Kimbell Museum. The exhibit will feature architectural models, original drawings, photos and films. A highlight of the exhibition is a 12-foot-high model of the spectacular City Tower designed for Philadelphia.This is a must-see for all of our budding architects and designers here at Heritage.
