MCT:July 16, 2008Some nice shots of Philadelphia and Bangladesh. Touching scenes:like the one where 3 adult siblings who had seldom spoken sit together and talk about being a family.

MCT:February 4, 2008Este increible documental se enfoca en la vida y obra del arquitecto Louis Kahn, cuya misteriosa muerte inspira a su hijo a realizar una travesia por todo el mundo para tratar de entender a su padre. Mediante entrevistas a familiares y amigos, Nathaniel Kahn va descifrando ese enigma que dejo Louis.
Esta pelicula es unica y conmovedora, ampliamente recomendada a arquitectos y gente interesada en ver un soberbio drama familiar. -

Even this movie is not aimed to be an "genious architect appreciation movie", Kahn's timeless and geometric "monnuments" shows how designed spaces can effect people in such a profound and deep level. Nathaniel's quest for searching his father was sometimes amateurish with his horrible interviewing skills. But maybe this is made intentionally to make movie more personal.

Kahn attempts to discover his enigmatic Father through the buildings he left behind, and through them he, and we along with him do come to understand him. The buildings are the star here, they are truly stunning. The ending scene where a Bangladeshi Architect breaks down over the beauty of Kahn's last building, the Parliament Building in Bangladesh is possibly the most moving scene I have ever seen on film.

Director Nathaniel Kahn searches to understand his father, noted architect Louis Kahn, who died bankrupt and alone in 1974.

Nathan Kahn is at times a little too earnest but we forgive him. He has crafted a documentary that captivates us with its examination of a genius and the emotional power of a son's journey to find his father.

Well I can understand the intention of the director to find out who his father really was, but Louis Kahn should have had a much better biography, focusing on his work and not his wives and children..so 6/10

I really enjoyed this film. To those few that did not enjoy the film, they must remember this was not ever intended to be a journal of Louis Kahn's great works of architecture - though he was most certainly a brillant architect. It was his son's journey (film journal) to piece together who his father was. Self Indulgent? lol...it's HIS Journey to find about HIS father...of course it is. In his journey so well shared in this film with the rest of us - we not only get to see the beautiful works of art his father's buildings were - but the beauty in a son searching for who his father was and trying to find that foundation in his own life from it. Amazing film. Both heart-wrenching at times as well as inspiring.

MCT:June 11, 2006Best documentry ever!!! My Architect is about Louis Kahn, the architect who designed The Capital Of Bangledash building in India. This documentry reveals the shattered families he left behind. He had three affairs and a few illegitimate children. Great buildings and a wonderful movie in summary.

Nathaniel Kahn's journey to discover the man that was his father - Louis Kahn, architect - through the buildings he created and the people who worked with him - as well as the families he started - is a deeply compassionate, humane and touching experience. Nathaniel Kahn is very objective about his own flesh and blood and the people he talks to weave a rich tapestry of Louis Kahn's complex and mysterious life, whilst also serving as an insight into contemporary architectural design.
