La Jolla is an area of the city of San Diego approximately ten miles north along the Pacific Coast. It is an affluent and beautiful area in which a number of prestigious research institutes and the University of California San Diego are located. Two of the best architecturally known institutes are the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences and the Neurosciences Institute founded by Jonas Salk in 1960 and Gerald Edelman in 1981 respectively. Both founders sought to provide “monasteries” to encourage scientific freedom within an environment of architectural excellence. A public referendum in 1960 approved the gift of land on Torrey Pines mesa for the Salk Institute. Salk, from his base in Pittsburgh, contacted Louis Kahn in Philadelphia to oversee the selection of an architect, but the men interacted so well that Kahn himself got the commission. Kahn produced a masterpiece of design and technical achievement. Construction began in 1962, the first researchers moved in 1963 and the complex was completed in 1965. A second phase expansion by Anshen & Allen was controversial because of the elimination of the eucalyptus grove, which was perceived by most of the design community as an integral part of the first phase. Nonetheless design and construction proceeded and the building opened in 1995. The Neurosciences Institute moved from New York to San Diego in 1993, and in 1995 occupied its newly constructed complex designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien. The award winning design received much acclaim and quickly became a San Diego landmark. Sadly, financial problems plagued the Institute and it moved to leased space a few miles away in La Jolla. The former home is now a part of The Scripps Research Institute but remains a prime venue of this tour. There are many fine examples of educational architecture on the University of California San Diego campus, founded in 1960. One of the earliest buildings was the Central Library (now the Geisel Library) by William Pereira, who produced such a distinctive shape that it has become the university’s logo. There are many buildings to visit on the campus including work by local architects Rob Quigley and Public, as well as nationally recognized designers such as Moshe Safdie, Mehrdad Yazdani and Antoine Predock.
