ArchitectureWeek Description
The story of MIT's ambitious decade-long building program, including Kevin Roche's Zesiger Sports and Fitness Center, Steven Holl's Simmons Hall, Frank Gehry's Stata Center, Charles Correa's Brain and Cognitive Science Complex, and Fumihiko Maki's project for the Media Laboratory. The author discusses their design and construction processes and includes other forces at play: money, politics, institutional dynamics, and ideology, showing the evolution of each building within the context of the history of the campus.
