...myriad couches and rugs lining the restaurant’s perimeter are filled with hungry customers who huddle around communal silver platters. There is no “waiting room”—instead, people waiting for a vacant spot mingle, drink and chat in the central pathway to the pulsing, flowing rhythms that fill the room...
From Quincy Street there are two possible approaches to the building: up the ramp or down to the main gallery entrance. The ramp was intended to be the centerpiece of the building, taking people directly to its center. Le Corbusier envisioned the ramp as becoming a major campus pathway, with students constantly flowing between Quincy and Prescott Streets. Unfortunately, Le Corbusier did not understand that few students have any need to travel this route (not to mention that they are lazy and would never walk up an inclined ramp just to walk down the other side). The University has done...
...heating and cooling system, obviating the need to have mechanical systems on the roof. This has an added benefit of allowing extensive skylights that will provide important natural light for the top-floor rare book restoration division.

Auburn St. through to Pinocchio’s Pizza, adding character to the cityscape and making the Square a bit more pedestrian friendly...

Nicotine itself may not be a cancer-causing agent, but, according to Dennis, it activates a pathway in cancerous and normal lung cells that keeps cells alive even when they are damaged and should naturally die. As healthy cells acquire genetic defects from cigarette smoking, nicotine may force them to survive in their damaged, precancerous state until they collect so many mutations that they become fully cancerous. The study...
