VISUAL ARTS CENTER CARPENTER
Le Corbusier.
Cambridge.Masachussets.USA.1963
Completed in 1963, The Carpenter Center is located at Harvard University, being one of the last buildings built by the great architect. The concrete and glass building is a demonstration of the theories of Le Corbusier and the interpenetration of interior and exterior, where S-shaped ramp up from a street and down to the other. The plot was wedged between neo-Georgian buildings as Le Corbusier inspected it first in 1959 shrugged "saying it was a very small commission for a big country".
