cool art studio / gallery by Le Corbusier, his only building in north america so a must visit if you are in town. unfortunately the glorious original ramp was severed and partially replaced with the harvard art museum's new construction, absolutely disgraceful and in poor taste if you ask me. still an important piece of architecture to experience. there are some small temporary exhibits. most of the building is dedicated to housing art studios for the university's students.

Le Corbusier's only building in N America houses the Carpenter visual arts center. It stands out on a campus dominated by red brick. An exciting exhibition and work space it is currently running a remounting of four artists- Richard Fulton, Renee Green, Pierre Huyghe, Pope L, all in conversation with this space created by Le Corbusier's building, now celebrating its 60th anniversary -'This machine creates opacities'

If you are an architect or an architecture fan, you should come to Cambridge and make a list of remarkable buildings between Harvard and MIT. This is the only building in the United States designed by Le Corbusier. It is an obligatory stop on your tour. Le Corbusier came twice to Harvard before the construction but was never able to see the work done.
