		Louis Kahn designed the Salk Center in La Jolla...as an eloquent composition that is spatially and symbolically incomplete, with its two richly rhythmical buildings...[which] define a powerful axis that is open at each end and that constitutes thereby a significant gesture within an American landscape.
