William L. Pereira landed on the cover of ‘Time’ for his futuristic American creations—including the stunning brutalist library that houses Dr. Seuss’ collection.
Just up the hill from the most iconic piece of modern architecture in California—the Salk Institute, a travertine courtyard dropping straight into the infinite Pacific flanked by volcanic ash concrete towers—is another modern masterpiece from a starchitect who has become criminally overlooked.
