Son of legendary architect Louis I. Kahn and landscape architect
Harriet Pattison. Kahn also had a daughter, Alexandra, with architect
Anne Tyng. Although he privately acknowledged Nathaniel and Alexandra
as his, Kahn left them out of his Will, leaving his entire estate to
his wife and their daughter.
My father was my hero, and he died when I was 11. So, I really never experienced the kind of natural teenage rebellion or the anger at him. I never experienced those feelings as a young person.
