Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“[An] affecting and informative memoir.”—Alex Beam, Wall Street Journal

“Our Days Are Like Full Years is not a bitter or angry book. It is a memoir of [Kahn and Pattison’s] times together, moving and heroic (on her part) as well as troubling.”—Rowan Moore, The Guardian

“[A] warm and elegant account – splendidly illustrated with drawings, photographs, and facsimiles of correspondence”—Arquitectura Viva, 2020


“Part memoir, part collection of letters, part architecture treatise, and part love story, Harriet Pattison’s Our Days Are Like Full Years takes you inside the architect Louis Kahn’s mind and, even more, inside his heart. This is the saga of a devil’s bargain with a saint, and it is at once poignant and triumphant. Pattison has written a magnificent book, filled with warmth, elegance, insight, and grace.”—Paul Goldberger, author of Why Architecture Matters
