Louis Kahn and Venezia: The Project for the Palazzo dei Congressi and the Biennale Building

“Venice is architecture of joy. I like a place as a whole where each building contributes to the other. An architect building in Venice must think in terms of sympathy: working on my project I was constantly thinking as if I was asking each building I love so much in Venice, whether they would accept me in their company.”- Louis Kahn
「威尼斯是愉悅的建築。我喜愛這座宛如一體的城市，每一幢房屋都相互襯托。在威尼斯，建築師必須從同理心的角度出發建造，因此當我在進行我的設計時，總是不斷想像自己正在詢問這座城市每一棟我所熱愛的建築：你們願意讓我加入嗎？—— 路易斯．康
