An award-winning Capital Facilities Case Study focused on the Salk Institute for Biological Studies campus. This report highlights how design principles influence long-term infrastructure strategy and explores how hidden geometries and spatial precision transcend conventional architectural theory, offering a robust framework for setting capital facilities management strategies.
Viewed from a long-term facility capital planning perspective, this study provides insights into timeless design strategies that promote efficiency, adaptability, and strategic investment. Architect Louis I. Kahn's approach—balancing functional clarity with visionary permanence—is a case study for how a hospital, research institute, or university expansion program can align infrastructure expansion with conceptual foresight, ensuring facilities are technically sound and conceptually enduring.
This thesis offers a unique lens on institutional facility investment and sustainable master planning strategies (USC Architecture - "Outstandi
