Here the designers have tried to have their cake and eat it too. In aspiring to maintain established spatial qualities in this most important corner of the Yard, they have tried to design an inconspicuous building which will have a most conspicuous range of environmental effects. The visual closure which reinforces one's sense of security within the Yard is gone. A vast new vista will be opened across the new rooftop.

One hemisphere-the left in most people-is dominant and contains the areas that are associated with speech and hearing and involved with analytical tasks such as solving an algebra problem. The other governs spatial perception, synthesis of ideas and aesthetic appreciation of art or music...

With it, he burst out of the Bauhaus box and turned to concrete, becoming more adventurous in its use than any other U.S. architect except perhaps I.M. Pei. He faceted...
