Architecture of Mereth Kahn 13

Anthimia 2, 229 AC.

Documentary and interview elements produced by The Architectural Media Collective of Surakosai.



Mereth originally designed the "Little Master's House" for Enlil, who was supposed to occupy it as the director of the Institute. But Enlil retired in 217, during the building of the campus, and decided to live at "Theophore House" in Acragas, the same building whose destruction was such a media event last year. Enlil's successor was his assistant and longtime apprentice, Tanheu the physicist, whose career as a scientist was both brilliant and controversial. Tanheu's wife had recently died after a long illness, and he decided to move to the campus and occupy the secluded Little Master's House, which was built to house only a single person or a couple. From there he tirelessly directed the Institute during the rest of the building and the move to the new complex. He is still Director, and he still occupies the Little Master's House, 12 years later, along with three cats.
