| Summary |
In 1959, famed virologist Jonas Salk asked the architect Louis Kahn to design his dream for a new kind of research institute - a place, as he put it, where Picasso would feel at home. He imagined a monastery on the California coast that allowed scientists to work in tune with nature and unfettered by the distractions of the modern world. It was a unique collaboration between two of the 20th Century's most original thinkers. Robert Redford's The Salk Institute reveals Kahn's final design as a modern masterpiece, a romance of angles. Contemplating the building, the film urges a larger conversation about the existential qualities of a space. (From France, in English) (Documentary) G CC |
