The Art of Architecture of M.I.T.: A Walking Tour

Join us for a walking tour of the impressive sculpture and architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology as we explore the intersections of art, technology, and design. M.I.T., known for science and engineering, offered the first formal architectural curriculum in the United States and has a long history of commissioning artwork and progressive buildings. Sculptures by Calder, Moore, Picasso, Stella and many other are on public display, set among intriguing school buildings designed by famous architects including Aalto, Saarinen, Pei, and Catalano. Today, M.I.T. is nearing the end of another major building period with the completion of projects by Gehry Partners with Cannon Design; Steven Holl Architects with Perry Dean Rogers & Partners; and Kevin Roche, John Dinkeloo & Assoc. and Sasaki Associates.
