Abstract

Architects, historians and architecture critics dispute about the possibility to apply the notion “irony” to architecture, basing on Louis Kahn’s creative activity. The stylistic peculiarities of his works demonstrate his attempt to clear up the paradoxicality of existence typical of the era of late modernism.
