William Mitchell offers a critical, behind-the-scenes view of MIT's billion-dollar building program of the 1990's that transformed its outdated, run-down campus into an architectural showplace, producing five major works of architecture: Kevin Roche's Zesiger Sports and Fitness Center, Steven Holl's Simmons Hall, Frank Gehry's Stata Center, Charles Correa's Brain and Cognitive Science Complex, and Fumihiko Maki's still-unrealized project for the Media Laboratory.
