Salk's Sun
James explores his fascination with architect Louis Kahn. This particular print is a 2d examination of the 3d complex of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, California, which Kahn designed in 1961.
INSPIRED BY HUMANITY
The Salk Institute was established in 1960 by Jonas Salk, MD, developer of the first safe and effective polio vaccine. Salk selected world-renowned architect Louis I. Kahn to design the research facility he envisioned would contribute to the betterment of humankind.
Salk directed Kahn to create spacious, unobstructed laboratory spaces that could be adapted to the ever-changing needs of science. The building materials had to be simple, strong, durable, and as maintenance-free as possible.
