MASTER ARCHITECTS LECTURE SERIES: IN CELEBRATION OF LOUIS KAHN AND THE SALK INSTITUTE
FEBRUARY - MAY 2009
THE SALK INSTITUTE FOR BIOLOGICAL STUDIES AND MCASD LA JOLLA


Acclaimed by architectural critics as one of the world's boldest structures, Louis Kahn's masterpiece (completed in 1965) employed a minimalist approach to design two, mirror-image structures flanked by a sweeping courtyard overlooking the Pacific Ocean. To celebrate the great achievements of Louis Kahn, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and MCASD will present a six-part lecture series featuring some of the world's most notable architects who will discuss their work and how it has been influenced by Kahn's legacy.
