Salk and Kahn both wanted each scientist to have a private "study unit" removed from the laboratories but still accessible to them.
Suggesting that great thoughts would emerge from tranquil refuges away from the mess of the labs.
Each scientist had an unobstructed view of the pacific.
Kahn believed "No space was an Architectural space unless it had natural light".
Spaces that are intended to be dark should have just enough light from some mysterious opening to tell us how dark it really is.
Kahn called light "The giver of all presences".
Kahn believed that "mass and structure of Architecture was made to cast shadows. The shadows belong to the light."
