MIT Sues Architect Of $300 Million Computer Science Building

Architect Frank Gehry’s celebrated design for the Stata Center (view pics of the horror) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is making headlines again — this time because of a lawsuit claiming deficient design work is the cause of leaks, cracks and mold in the 730,000-square-foot building.
I gotta ask though, with a monstrosity like the Stata, what the hell did you expect? This Old House toured the facility a couple years ago when they worked on the ‘Cambridge House’ and I was just aghast that a technical institute would think this structure fit with their rep.
