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.
