...factory of new ideas and invention. Still, one wonders if there are any virgins at Harvard; and factories do pollute. No belief in the value of the past and an absence of hope in the future characterize every part of Harvard. In attempting to avoid cynicism, Harvard students exalt form over content, and regard style as superior to substance.

The project's bell tower, a mighty raised slab of raw concrete, is among the best pieces of sculptural architecture this side of Le Corbusier's Ronchamp church. Manhattan's Whitney Museum, with upper gallery floors expressed in three cantilevers that extend further and further out from the building, has heft, urbanity and presence.
