As you can see, I'm just thrilled with this building. It's in the perfect spot, and I get to watch it being constructed, piece by piece. Every night before I go home, I look out of the window at it, and appreciate the fact that generations of MIT students who come through here after me, will have no idea how cool this place was. To them, it will just be yet another building with a number. Hopefully, a few of them will find this blog and consider how much work went into it.
I leave you with this parting shot. Someone crossed the street while I was taking a long exposure, and it really worked out perfectly.

I came out of the office one night to find a planet (Jupiter, I think) over the street and the whole building lit up by internal ligthing, shining through the canvas pannels that they drop over the steele skeleton. Very cool looking, and just too tempting a picture not to take.
MIT is building a new building on their Cambridge campus, right across the street from the building that I work in. I've now taken several pictures of the project that I think are worthy of sharing. This first one was taken at sunset, and shows the crane hovering over an empty work-site.
