◎貝聿銘：「雖然路易斯•康的作品不多，但每個都是經典。」★台灣第一本介紹路易斯．康的專書一次含括建築家小傳、哲學思考、作品介紹、實踐方法★路易斯．康是◆繼萊特（Frank Lloyd Wright）之後，美國最重要的建築名家。◆當代建築最重要的精神導師。◆影響安藤忠雄、改變世界美學的建築大師。美國建築師、教育家、哲學家路易斯．康（Louis Isadore Kahn, Estonia 1901 / New York 1974），為二十世紀最傑出的建築師之一，發展出一套嶄新的理論性和造型的語言，為現代建築注入新的生命。分散於美國、印度及孟加拉的一些主要作品，都在其一生最後的二十年間完成。作品整合了結構系統、材料、光線、幾何原型、人性價值於一體。他於1971年獲得美國建築師學會金質獎章、獲選美國文藝學院院士，1972年獲英國皇家建築師學會金質獎章。從美國建築師學會所設立的「廿五週年建築作品獎」（Twenty-five Year Award）便可看出，路易斯．康的作品備受建築專業人士所肯定。該獎項每年只選出一件作品，自1969年首次頒發至2014年以來，所選出的四十五件作品中，路易斯．康就有五件，僅次於艾羅•沙陵南（Eero Saarinen）的六件。兩人最引人矚目的原因不僅是獲獎次數最多，更難得的是，他們在相對短暫的建築生涯中，創造出最多的傳世之作，完成設計作品的良率非常驚人。本書分三大部分。因為「靜謐與光線」（Silence and Light）是路易斯．康最後的哲學概念，第一部分「靜謐與光明的建築旅程」呈現路康的小傳，介紹路康的成長背景、各階段作品背後的構想與影響。第二部分「空間本質的探尋」，是路康六座代表性作品的深入賞析。第三部分「建築的內在革命」讓我們看到，路康的哲學思考讓硬梆梆的結構、建築設備系統增添了生命力與現代性，誠如他所言「建築是深思熟慮的空間創造」（Architecture is the thoughtful making of space），建築除了機能角色之外，還可以喚起人類永恆價值的情感與象徵意義。路易斯•康出生於蘇聯所控制之下的愛沙尼亞，原本的姓氏為舒慕伊羅斯基（Schmuilowsky）的猶太家庭，在改名為路易斯•康之前，名為萊瑟-伊澤（Leiser-Itze Schmuilowsky），親朋好友都叫他路（Lou）。本書內文皆已「路康」稱之。
