Carpenter Center| Harvard, Cambridge
-Charles-Edouard Jeanneret's only built work in N.America
“There is a part of our world that is playing on abundance, on glitz and glamour and there is another part that is concentrated on refinement, and basically making beautiful objects.”
-Patrick Thomas, Hermes chief executive who is now trying to hold off the monstrous LVMH from purchasing family operated Hermes.
Architects aren't that different from fashion designers. In the world of architecture, there are numerous architects who act as prostitutes. The willingness to compromise design ideas/morals and disregard context just to ensure a project is built and sold for maximum profit is shit.



Cafe Pamploma | Harvard Square, Cambridge
-Cute little cafe

Delicious coffee served in a tiny basement with a ceiling height of 5' -11". Floor plan is roughly a square of maybe 18' by 22' packed with many super duper smart Harvard undergrads. Ha.
