Harvard University Science Center Expansion Cambridge, Massachusetts

摘要

Josep Lluis Serfs tenure as chair of Harvard's Graduate School of Design in the 1950s and '60s coincided with a period of growth and expansion for the entire school. His Harvard University Science Center, completed in 1970, extended the school north of Harvard Yard for the first time and has served as the de facto gateway to this area of the campus ever since. A few years ago, the Boston firm Leers Weinzapfel Associates was tapped to add more space to the existing 291,000-square-foot structure. The elegant, thoughtful additions, which peek out from behind the building when viewed facing the terraced south facade and main entry, pay homage to the form and scale of Sert's original while updating its massing and materials.
