Pei
designed the plan for this section of the MIT campus and three buildings
as well--the Green Building, a skyscraper of twenty-one stories, and two
strongly horizontal buildings, the Dreyfus Building and the Landau Building.
View from southeast
(with the Green Building in the background) and view from north (with
Green Building to the right) Diagonal
columns and spandrels frame recessed windows.
The
end of the building is cantilevered on two diagonal pilotis. The entrance
is protected beneath the building.
