When their drawings and early projects first appeared in the late '70s and the '80s, angular, skewed, irregular in every way, they seemed the purest fantasy. But in the space of a generation, cutting-edge methodology became the standard operating procedure.

But after much effort and hard work from Harvard administrators and Special...
