J. Colton Hill - MIT Stata Center

MIT Stata Center



This is an interesting building at MIT in Boston.  It was designed by Architect Frank Gehry. It is a form of Deconstructionist Architecture.  The building has some classrooms and auditoriums that the electrical engineering department uses. Other departments use the building including the computer science department. Funding for this building was provided by Maria Stata (former MIT Graduate) and the Bill Gates.  This building was built in place of "Building 20" that was erected during WWII to serve as a temporary location for the Radiation Laboratory.  

I really like the design of this building.  It reminded me of a Dr. Sues book.
