The Architect will celebrate the contributions architects have made to our environment through the furniture, objects, and equipment they’ve invented in response to the buildings they’ve conceived. The most rigorous spaces, after all, are integrated environments. As Louis Kahn said, "Design is not making beauty. Beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love." Furniture, millwork, and lighting by great architects have the ability to animate space, to transcend their status as mere objects. "Architecture is the reaching out for the truth," Kahn continued. It is through an investigation of those objects that we can approach the philosophy of these great authors and ultimately, we hope, the truth.
