Richard Saul Wurman, editor and designer, Notebooks and Drawings—

Nathaniel Kahn, son of Louis I. Kahn—

Richard Saul Wurman and Eugene Feldman’s Notebooks and Drawings of Louis I. Kahn was the first book devoted to my father's art and he loved it.

William Whitaker, curator and collections manager, Architectural Archives of the University of Pennsylvania—

Wurman and Feldman’s Notebooks and Drawings of Louis I. Kahn is a big book not just by the measure of its folio size but by audaciously and courageously getting you into the head of the architect.

David Feldman, son of Eugene Feldman, co-editor and co-designer, Notebooks and Drawings —

My father, Eugene Feldman, was an artist, experimental printer, graphic designer, and Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania. He pioneered the use of offset lithography as a fine art form.
