The Salk Institute for Biological Studies stands as a pinnacle of architecture and science, nestled in the picturesque locale of La Jolla, California. Designed by renowned architect Louis Kahn, the Institute is not only a hub for cutting-edge research in biology but also a masterpiece of modernist architecture. Its striking design, with clean lines and a serene courtyard overlooking the Pacific Ocean, fosters an environment of creativity and innovation.
Don't miss the sunset from the courtyard for a breathtaking view.
