Author Perdita Buchan has written a lovely encomium to Louis Kahn’s modernist houses set in the New Town of Jersey Homesteads (now Roosevelt) created by the New Deal’s Resettlement Administration. Along the way she extolls Kahn’s design for the Four Freedoms Park on Roosevelt Island, New York City, built after the architect’s death. She also salutes the spirit of Franklin Roosevelt embodied in both the utopian ideals of the greenbelt towns and the Four Freedoms enumerated in his inaugural address of 1941. Here is the full story in Curbed.Com.
