In Popular Culture
Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Lewis Spratlan, with his collaborators Jenny Kallick and John Downey (Amherst College class of 2003), composed the chamber opera Architect as a character study of Kahn. The premiere recording is due to be released in 2012 by Navona Records.
Kahn was the subject of the documentary film My Architect, presented by Nathaniel Kahn, his son.
His complicated family life inspired the Undaunted Mettle episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
