Louis Kahn (1901–74) was an architect who designed buildings that looked like castles; this was true whether they were small Philadelphia villas or vast institutions such as his parliamentary complex in Dhaka. His style – which he arrived at only in his fifties – is characterised by what look like thick fortified walls of massive masonry pierced by simple geometrical shapes and sometimes topped with turrets, as if they have been designed by a necromancer or numerologist in the 13th or 14th century. The architectural historian Vincent Scully, an admirer, thought these buildings an intimation of divinity, and much writing about Kahn is overblown: ‘inventive power’, ‘personal discovery’, ‘fundamental geometry’ – that sort of thing.
Safety concerns over University of Kent s Eliot footpath in Canterbury after women grabbed
Published: 06:00, 20 December 2020
A university is considering improving lighting along a campus footpath - after two young women were grabbed by a man in separate incidents.
Students say they no longer feel safe walking along Eliot footpath, which cuts through an area of open countryside at the University of Kent in Canterbury (UKC).
While the walkway itself is lit up, the vast surrounding area is plunged into darkness at night, which currently falls at about 4pm.
On November 28, a young woman was grabbed by a man as she walked along the path at about 11.15pm.
