After a threat to demolish Kahn’s dormitories at the Indian Institute of Management was averted two years ago, the board plans to raze the entire campus.

Formally dedicated at a ceremony on May 5, the blue-and-yellow marker is located on the Baltic Sea island of Saaremaa, where Kahn was born in 1901.

The school has announced that 18 dormitories will be replaced with structures by an as-yet unnamed architect.

Wendy Lesser’s study of Louis Kahn synthe­sizes his life and work in a literary equivalent of an architectural composition.

Five years opening in Rotterdam, the retrospective returns to the architect’s hometown.
