Stata Center, Massachusetts, United States
4.5 (75 reviews) Spent Ranking #17 in Cambridge Architectural Buildings
Funky and amazing architecture
MIT Stata Center is one of the signature buildings in MIT. It’s an amazing and interesting architecture covered with lots of irregularly shaped mirrors. People love to play with their reflections and take funny photos. The mirrors were assembled in weird angles and curved into different shapes so you can have your imagination to make funky poses.

Frank Gehry’s building
The Stata Center is an interesting building architecturally but certainly not on par with The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Gerry’s masterpiece. It seems a little out of place in Cambridge and looks slightly eclectic. Regardless, Frank Gehry is a great master of modern architecture and it is always a pleasure to see his creations.

Another awesome Gehry building!
A longtime fan of the architecture of Frank Gehry, our visit to the MIT campus to see and experience its wide variety of architectural styles included a stop at the Stata Center! The building is so unique...whimsical in some ways...but totally breathtaking! With every few steps and turns, the view changes. Be sure to see it from both its street-facing front on Vassar Street as well as its rear face off Compton Court. And enjoy the reflections too...other buildings as well as you and yours! Unfortunately due to COVID, campus buildings are closed until the fall term so we could not go inside to see what Gehry has created there.
