Description
Exterior view of the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, designed by Louis Kahn and completed in 1966. "The open plaza is made of travertine marble, and a single narrow strip of water runs down the center, linking the buildings to the vast Pacific Ocean. A person's view is then directed towards nature, reminding people of their scale compared to that of the ocean,"--AD Classics: Salk Institute / Louis Kahn, by Adelyn Perez.
