Institutions

I could not say this better then the words of Kahn "Institution stems from the inspiration to live."  To live is to express yourself, to desire, to achieve.  The institution provides us with the platform to be free. Free to learn, grow, and become.  The institution is not one place but a single unit of information as institutions multiple based on human desire they become cities of information.  A then maps out patterns of streets or connections between the institutions.

Kahn talks further about institutions becoming schools, chapels, and architecture but I feel that it is important to remember that institutions are our databases of knowledge that provide us with the opportunity to express ourselves.
