#4 TEN CANONICAL BUILDINGS ; from plaid grid to diachronic space. the works of louis kahn

Usually, as described by Eisman, a building unfolds in a linear manner as a person walks in and around the space to come to understand the building the time of reading is different for a reader of literature than a reader of architecture. That's because architecture works in synchronic time. Architecture by this time had also been heavily influenced from previous works by other architects, used as precedents, represented in a superposition of classical and modern spaces co existing in one design.

But neither of these are the case for the Adler House and the Devore House by Louis Kahn. Theses houses are conceptualized to be a critique of modern works so far and works a disjunction and dislocation of experiences and how the user perceives the space is completely different. It's end is for the architecture to be interpreted as a complex object that the user can see both a real and imaginary space. It's made to feel like it has no origin and no specific influence breaking the pattern, or grid to create a diachronic space.
