Once upon a time, in the late, late 1960s, this campus was a different place. Radcliffe women carried suitcases of prim skirts and sweaters into their North House rooms on move-in day. Harvard men wore ties to dinner. Separated by the stretch of land from the Quadrangle to the River, the genders rarely mixed. Men and women only met in classes and at awkward mixers.

They wanted to imagine a cityscape that was not merely sane and rational but that acknowledged and accommodated human desires, even if imagine was all they could do. So "Archilab" opens with a section called "The Pulsating City," full of models and drawings based on organic forms or made from flexible materials, like David Greene's witty Living Pod. The point of such work was to unlock the imprisoning grids of Modernism, to make the soap bubble...
