"The cultural identity of MIT exists within its intricate network of corridors which extend 'infinitely' above and below ground throughout the campus. The proposed Student Center would introduce a spatial interruption along this corridor system. The design process began with a spatial exploration of the 'corridor', investigating the qualities that exist within it. Qualities of tension, compression and gravitation exist alongside the experiential movement found within the space of the corridor." (PDF)
