Corporeality, Perception, and Education

The present study intends to mention the apex of a period (modernism), its decline, and the ascendancy of a new era, the postmodernism, which took care to include and cover a historical past together with the existing local context, and aims to describe the importance of Louis Kahn and his techniques for the transition of the two.With his artistic gift to drawings, a differentiated formation (Beaux Arts), and free will in his works, the architect yearned monumentality, shape, order and light, using its own method called shape and design, which this method came to highlight it and emerged since then.
