ABSTRACT
A student's success depended upon coming up with ideas that would ignite Louis I. Kahn and start him thinking about how to execute them or exploring their essence. On a particular class day early in the year Louis I. Kahn began to feel uncomfortable because the students were complaining. These juries usually occurred at the midpoints of the semesters, so the students worked feverishly on their project for six or seven weeks. Some proposed places of assembly, others a library and one student proposed building a mountain to look out at the city from the university. Once excited by a student's new idea, he could quickly become bored during the actual development or refinement of it. Most of all, they could not understand how Lou could allow us to lift inspiration from those same drawings and then come back in and present entirely new ideas suggested by the ones that were discussed.
