KAHN AND BARRAGÁN. Convergence in the Salk Institute plaza

Abstract

Some thoughts about Luis Barragan´s contribution to the plaza at Louis I. Kahn’s Salk Institute. Various texts and testimonies are examined, analyzing the sketches made by both architects and their points of convergence for the creation of this space. It also considers the influence of the “Corbusian” concept of perceiving the landscape through architecture on Barragan’s work.
