    • Abstract:
      NADAAA and Perkins&Will have designed a new headhouse and gateway at the Kendall/MIT stop on the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority's Red Line. The design aims to connect the Kendall Square neighborhood with the rest of Cambridge and provide a recognizable symbol for MIT. The geometric ensemble features three access points, a sleek canopy supported by tall columns, and a semireflective underside. The structure was fabricated using composite structures commonly used in the maritime and aviation industries. The project serves as a period at the end of a sentence for MIT's campus expansion and makes a statement about urban planning and local placemaking. [Extracted from the article]
