This structure in La Jolla, CA was originally created as a neuroscience institute that was completed in 1995. After they moved to a smaller facility it began being used for molecular imaging by Scripps. After looking at photographs of this modern and contemporary styled facility the completion date is shocking to me. Like their other projects, they have created another ultimately ageless building that is impossible to put a time stamp on.  The pattern of natural colors and materials continues here with various types of stone, glass, wood, concrete, and steel.  The institute is 3 different buildings brought together by a plaza in the center which you see in the picture. The theme of large windows and natural light continues in this project. Each building was designed with optimal usage in mind, like the office windows that allow light and privacy or the auditorium with specifically engineered walls to make sound easier to hear even though it is no amplified.
