Based on the interview with the author, they were written in the 1980s. Red, green, and black ink are used in the manuscripts. The red and green ink are used to highlight key words and phrases. There are frequent insertions of Arabic phrases, which include quranic quotations and opening and closing formulae.

According to the author, the documents were written in the 1980s.
Some images are difficult to read due to the poor condition of both the originals, which have ink stains, and the writing (especially those entirely written with black inks). The ink has faded away in some pages.This collection of Wolofal (Wolof Ajami) materials is copied as part of the EAP 334 Project (Digital Preservation of Wolof Ajami manuscripts of Senegal) led by Dr. Fallou Ngom in collaboration with WARA/WARC and Boston University Library.

Entre lo íntimo y lo monumental. El hueco en la obra de Louis Kahn
No full textLa investigación tiene como propósito adentrarse en el universo conceptual de los grandes huecos de la arquitectura de Louis I. Kahn, un recurso característico de su obra. A tal efecto se realizan distintas aproximaciones. En primer lugar, se lleva a cabo una síntesis del pensamiento tan distintivo y de alta carga conceptual y filosófica que Kahn desarrolló a lo largo de su vida profesional, íntimamente ligado al concepto de la abertura como el entre-me-dio de silencio y luz en términos arquitectónicos. Asimismo, se expone otra vía de interpretación relacionada con la influencia de los ejemplares clásicos que Kahn visitó durante sus viajes a Europa. En ellos encontró la monumentalidad, que más adelante sería patente en su obra, y el origen de sus ‘ruinas envolventes’. Como consecuencia, un sucesivo desarrollo analítico y teórico de los huecos presentes en la obra construida del arquitecto tendrá el designio de evadir su asociación a simples ventanas o puertas de dimensiones y propósitos convencionales. Para ello, se pretende poner en valor y resaltar su intención ligada a conceptos como la topología, la composición material y, por último, como síntesis que culmina el trabajo, analizar la intención espacial de los huecos en la mayor obra que Kahn hizo nunca, el capitolio de Dacca, en Bangladesh

The Faces of Kahn
No full text[EN] The self-portraits produced by Louis Kahn are capable of revealing more aspects of his person than the majority of the photographs taken of him throughout his existence (1901-1974). Consciously or unconsciously, perhaps involuntarily, Kahn leads us through them into the folds of his personality. Although developed in hardly twenty years, they enclose an entire lifetime. The six self-portraits that are presented here correspond to the period between the years 1928 and 1949.[ES] Los seis autorretratos realizados por Louis Kahn entre1928 y 1949 son capaces de desvelar más aspectos de la persona que el conjuntode la gran mayoría de las fotografías tomadas sobre él a lo largo de su existencia(1901-1974).
