This is the Salk Institute, designed by Architect Louis Khan, which is a research institute which looks like it was designed to allow people to focus on their research. This building reminds me of form over function, and a very basic and intentional design, since there don’t seem to be any features that are purely ornamental. The building was designed to be as enduring as possible, that way instead of patching and repairing resources could be put into the actual science that is being researched there. This can be seen through the very basic, (but sturdy, rigid, and enduring), concrete walls. The building also features several labs with large windows, and was designed with the express purpose of letting natural light reach even the lower lab levels. This building is a testament to what architecture can be, simple, elegant, in communion with nature, and enduring with very little upkeep.
