MATRIX LAYOUT
The 9 layout matrix shows sense of connection through the graphical content and colour. The plates are sorted out into 3 parts- whole, parts and detail.
Salk Institute is known and respect in the world of art as in the world of science. It is all started when Jonas Salk, the founder if the polio vaccine, wants a new type of institute to further develop science. The new types refer to a "flexible structure" that can adapt to the change of time. Combined with Louis Kahn, create a monumental and meaningful piece of architecture.
WHOLE
The 2 symmetrical building standing tall facing the Pacific ocean. First of all, the symmetry resembles the scientific precision, the form of the building as seen from the entrace creates a dynamic space from the zigzag building wall which makes the place looks alive and monumental. The large central area between 2 buildings along with a stream of water not only act as a monumental atmosphere but also act as a place to connect to buildings together. The central space are for unplanned meeting and collaboration. Also, the shaded walkway inside also act as an informal meeting space which encourage collaboration which can leads to new discoveries.

PART
This part is going to talk about the transition from public to a more private space. The building has 2 largely sorted space called "served" and "servant space"
Talking about served space, It is the space where people dwell in, which is the lab and the studies. The studies are situated on the floor staggered to the lab- gives more privacy to the studying scientists. Might refer as well to the act of meditation. The lab of Salk Institute is a wide empty space. Kahn created this so that the institute can adapt easily to technological changes and are open for new discoveries. In order to create such space, Kahn use the method of "free plan" which is using columns instead of load bearing wall. So that flexible interior wall is possible. This also resulted in the servant space which is the service shaft situated along the outer side of the architecture and the ducts floor between each lab floors. By sorting out the circulation from the building, resulted in a friendly environment for science experiment in a sealed lab- no dust from the overhead duct to interfere with the experiment, efficient amount of light and an ever-changing lab.

DETAIL
In detail, I,m going to talk about window alignment and window function. Each studies has windows that looks directly into the ocean and one look into the central court. This, gives scientists choices for privacy. The window are multi-functional with a considerable aspect of light, ventilation and privacy.
The window are consist of sliding material which is glass, wood shutter and blinds. scientists can choose to control their own environment which can help them study better.

WHOLE
Talks about the symmetry in form and the sense of monumental. Also the central space for collaboration.

PART
This part talks about the served and servant space in other works of Kahn.

DETAIL
This panel talks about the similarity in function of the windows of Kahn which influence the idea of the building as well.

OTHER ARCHITECTURE'S DNA
WHOLE
The whole part focus on central space for collaboration in places like offices, school and even an art museum.

PART
The part part talks about the served and servant space ideas which spread out to other architect as well as a way to organise building. This part also talks about the free plan method that Kahn use to create an unobstructed lab.

DETAIL
The detail part focus on window function that concerns about light, ventilation and privacy.
