Louis Kahn wrote of Luis Barragan:
I asked Luis Barragan to come to La Jolla and help me in the choice of the planting for the garden to the Studies of the Salk Laboratory. When Luis Barragan entered the space he went to the concrete walls and touched them and expressed his love for them, and then said as Luis Barragan looked across the space and towards the sea, ‘I would not put a tree or blade of grass in this space. This should be a plaza of stone, not a garden.’ I looked at Dr. Salk and he at me and we both felt this was deeply right. Feeling our approval, he added joyously, ‘If you make this a plaza, you will gain a facade - a facade to the sky.’
