Frank Gehry’s Ray and Maria Stata Center (2004)
Though it’s interesting from the sight of architecture lovers, the Stata Center is rather tricky to use for students. The following is a quote from the Wikipedia.
“There are certainly many who are less enamoured of the structure. The use of glass for walls on the inside means that those who work in the building have to give up a sense of privacy. There is also one lecture room where, because of the slight lean of the walls, some people have been known to experience vertigo. Sound insulation is almost absent. The building has also been criticized as insensitive to the needs of its inhabitants, poorly designed for day-to-day use, and at an official cost $283.5 million, overpriced.”
フランクゲーリーの建築はLAのディズニーコンサートホールといい、グーフィーが酔った勢いで作ったような形が特徴ですが、このMITのステータセンターも同様。建築的には面白いけど日々使う学生にとっては不満もあるようです。実際に歩き回った感じでは、方向が分からなくなる（避難時に危険）、ガラス張りの研究スペースが多く他人にのぞかれる、という２点が実際の作業環境としては使いにくそうかな。
ま、それを補っても「面白そう」だけどね。
Entrance. Contemporary museum?
現代美術館のようなエントランス

Cow with a graduation cap
牛
The interior was designed with a view of an inner circulation system which is utilizing niches for impromptu meetings.
“回遊性”を狙ったデザイン。Cafe的なミニスペースが随所にあり、学生は思い立ったらその場でミーティングできるように設計されています。

These are new? Sugoi. The cow is really wearing a doctor’s hat? It looks more like a graduation cap. Doctors wear hats? You say “doctor’s hat” instead of doctor hat. Haha.
Oh yeah, one more correction–The one that was captioned on the table picture.
“was designed with a view of internal” should be “was designed with a view of an internal”
Hope this helps. Eigo o ganbatte!
