...Sert’s influence on the practice of architecture is difficult to measure. Like many architects, little has been written on his life and work. This is a shame, for Sert’s work is, at first sight, aesthetically difficult to understand half a century later...
Before the weather in Cambridge took its recent turn for the worse, sunburst twenty-somethings wearing seashell necklaces and Cali caps were a regular sight gliding down the sidewalk on enormous, wooden longboards.

The newest incarnation of the Harvard Electronic Music Studio—founded in 1968 by Leon Kirchner and Morton Subotnick and augmented by Tcherepnin in 1972—is a sight to behold, and to hear. And it’s all there for the taking by undergraduates...
