Louis Kahn is known for his extraordinary work in several projects. One of his greatest works is The Salk Institute for Biological Studies. It’s a non-profit, scientific research laboratory. It is located in La Jolla, California. Inside the institute, it has 56 labs. It has three different research areas. Another great project was The Trenton Bath House. Its unique name has nothing to do with the model of the building and use. It is a building that was built for a Jewish community center. The Trenton Bath House was used as an entrance and changing area for patrons of an outdoor pool. These are only two of the many fabulous projects Louis Kahn has had great success on. Its just too bad how this great architects life came to an end. Louis Kahn died from a heart attack in a bathroom in Penn Station in New York. He was just returning from India when this accrued. His body was not immediately identified; it was idenitfied three days later. A great legend of the architectural world was gone. One could say he revolutionized the architectural world. His great works that until this day still stand will always be remembered.
