[part 4]


Louis Khan architectural work is noticeable because of its forms and compositions. All of Louis Khan works demonstrate his way of thinking and his passion for various things. The Salk Institute is one of his most impressive architectural designs. Although it is not the most eyes catching when it comes to style or beauty, it is a remarkable piece of art because of its uniqueness. The way it looks like just boxes stacked upon each other and the fact that it’s made of wood and stone gives off its weird aspect.
It catches light and water in a significant way that no other architect has yet managed to do.
Another magnificent architectural design by Louis Khan is the Yale University Art Gallery in New haven, Connecticut. That was Louis Khan first significant commission and one of his first masterpieces. The Art Gallery has technical innovations like a floor slab system. It is also a very remarkable piece of architecture that shows us who Louis Khan was as an architect.
