Abstract

There have been numerous architectural designs throughout world history, each of which has a significant relationship to its era and human culture. In the study of contemporary architecture, it is essential to contemplate the characteristics of historical architecture. This literature review will examine the methods of shaping architecture and how it responds to humans by interpreting Louis Kahn’s First Unitarian Church in terms of institution, matter, and light effects.
