Zusammenfassung:	"Author Kent Larson has delved into Kahn's extensive archives to construct faithful computer models of a series of proposals the architect was not able to build: the U.S. Consulate in Luanda, Angola; the Meeting House of the Salk Institute in La Jolla; the Mikveh Israel Synagogue in Philadelphia; the Memorial to Six Million Jewish Martyrs in New York City; three proposals for the Hurva Synagogue in Jerusalem; and the Palazzo dei Congressi in Venice The resulting computer-generated images present striking views of "real" buildings in "real" sites." "Complementing the new computer images is extensive archival material - rough preliminary drawings, finely delineated plans, and beautiful travel sketches. Larson also presents documentation of each project, often including correspondence with the clients that shows not only the deep respect accorded the architect but the complicated circumstances that sometimes made it impossible to bring a design to fruition
