The Stata Center at MIT






I remember seeing this building on the second day after I arrived in Boston. I was walking along Main Street in Cambridge and saw it as I passed Vassar St. I didn't know what building it was at the time, and when I later found out it's a Frank Gehry building, I chided myself, a Frank Gehry fan, for not knowing what it was in the first place. It's awesome. I finally got round to going right up and behind it to make some photographs. It's currently embroiled in a legal suit. The architect and the construction company are being sued by MIT because, unique as it may be, it's leaking. Nevertheless, its form interests me more than its function.
