yesterday we attended an afternoon tea given my one of our clients to announce changes in the company. It took place in the beautiful house of the company president, the last residential commission ever designed by Louis Kahn. Our client's father, who had hired Kahn to design it in the early 70s, told us about the last dinner he ever had with Lou, when Lou sat for hours and Lou told his wife just how much he loved her and how much she meant to him, despite his extramarital affairs and children born out of wedlock, and how after Lou died, she wrote and said just how much that evening had meant to her.
Our client gave a touching speech and dissolved into tears as he described the mentorship of his father... I choked up a bit and thought of my own father, who died about 14 years ago. And then he told my wife and I how important we are to him and that without us they were "just bricks and mortar" and then he gave us a Mac Airbook.
