CORREA IN CAMBRIDGE
    by Michael J. Crosbie

	Celebrated Indian architect Charles Correa has
	completed his first major project in the United States
	on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of
	Technology, working in collaboration with the Boston
	firm of Goody Clancy.
	
	The building reflects Correa's modern formalism and his
	interest in playing solids against voids, not only on
	the outside, but also in an interior courtyard.
	Correa's work is noted for its planar quality, which is
	very strong in the new MIT building. At nearly a
	half-million square feet (465,000 square meters), the
	new Brain and Cognitive Science Complex (BCS) also
	happens to be, according to MIT, the largest brain
	research center in the world.
	
	The building is just across the street from the Stata
	Center by Frank Gehry, and it couldn't be on a more
	troublesome site (though Gehry is not to blame). It
	occupies a triangular island bounded by Main, Albany,
	and Vassar streets, and it marks a northeast gateway of
	sorts to MIT's campus in Cambridge - an intensely urban
	place.

	Futurist Alvin Toffler said: "You've got to think about
	big things while you're doing small things, so that all
	the small things go in the right direction." He was
	probably not referring specifically to architecture
	students, but his statement applies well to students
	thinking about design concepts when learning to use
	computer-aided design applications.
