...first biolab should be commended for recognizing that designing the future requires not only conceptual vision, but also vision on the scale of the built world. Harvard shouldn’t plan our new Allston playground as an ossified artifact of architectural regurgitation. With the innovative Behnisch architects, our new campus will be a beautiful and modern one that jumpstarts our reputation as a leading center of the architectural world...
...academic preeminence. This philosophy has both anchored Harvard’s presence in Allston and propelled development forward thus far.Among the first buildings set for the University’s 241 acres is a massive 500,000 square foot science complex to be designed by Behnisch, Behnisch & Partner—a Stuttgart-based architectural firm with environmentally-friendly credentials—which will house the Stem Cell Institute and the newly created Harvard Institute for Biological Engineering.“[The current plan] definitely reflects [Summers’] priorities,” says Harvard?...
...building—a science complex—students cannot help but wonder if the University will make all new mistakes, albeit of the same genus. “I’m not a traditionalist, I can tell you that right away,” declared architect Stefan Behnisch at the presentation, though his sketches speak for themselves. The relatively featureless glass and steel polygons certainly were not hideous—but they were not Harvard either. Rather than being different for difference’s sake, as are the Holyoke and Science Centers, it appears the new Allston...

Pathways crossing grassy knolls, indoor gardens, and spacious atriums complemented the drawings of the outdoor facades. “I am not a traditionalist, I can tell you that right away,” said Stefan Behnisch, the University’s architect for the first new Allston buildings, in a presentation to the task force last night. “I think every time has its challenges and every time has its answers. There is a right time for brick and masonry and there is a right time...
...research has propelled Harvard’s plans across the river. University officials said last week that Harvard intends to seek permission from Boston by the end of April to build its new science center on property formerly leased by Channel 2. The architect of the new building, Stefan Behnisch, will attend next week’s Allston Task Force meeting to talk to residents about designs. The University hopes to break ground on the building in 2007.“I think we have a number of challenges: that we are able to convince people that this will...
