According to Friedman (2017, p. 19), the Salk Institute is a place for studying historical, biological sciences, and contemporary architectural experiences, perspectives, and theories. Its renowned scientists assess the intrinsic foundations of life and seek to understand genetics, plant biology, immunology, among others. The Salk Institute was designed by Luois Khan in his attempts to show the role played by memory in architecture in relation to promoting significant contributions, fostering belongingness, and encouraging mediation (Margalith, 2020, p. 603). Memory acts as a living phenomenon to the Salk Institute. Since memory allows for poetic dwelling, it also presents the significance of the built environment in transforming societies as places to redefine peoples’ ambition for the future and recollect their past.
