The Architect Movie



Today we watched a movie about a man named Louis Khan. Louis Khan was a very famous architect. He was born on an island called Saaremaa. Then his Jewish family migrated to America. He was raised in Philidelphia and became an actual citizen in 1914. He trained in Beaux art tradition at the University of Pennsylvania. Later on in his life he was a Professor of architecture at Yale and the University of Pennsylvania. He designed the Yale University Art gallery. He made many other great buildings. An architect is a person that designs and builds buildings and landmarks. We believe that architects are people that spend a lot of time traveling. They are people who do alot of research and draw a lot of the time. An architect has to have a great imagination and has to be able to be good leader. Architects don't share any of the credit of there work with any other people. Louis Khan did not treat women fairly. He did not like his girlfriends to come to alot of his events. Those are some of the things about Louis Khan and some characteristics of an architect.
