A National Medal of Science on display at the MIT Museum.

Stata Center for Computer, Information and Intelligence Sciences @ MIT

 Back in December I had the chance to enjoy a nice winter walk around the MIT campus with a friend and finally got to see the very interesting STATA building and take some pictures.  Wow!  I'm not sure how to describe it, perhaps "a sci-fi building caught in an earthquake warped in a spacial anomaly and conceived in a Dr. Suess book"?

Lots of interesting shapes, angles, reflections

and if you look closely in some windows you'll find looking back out at you...  very appropriate for a building right out a sci-fi book...

sunlight reflections off chrome parts of the building

even have some trees scattered about

quite a few other people also gazing up at this building and taking pictures
