Although I randomly encountered this building while walking through MIT campus, it left such a striking impression on me that I had to take a picture with my phone. Typically, straight lines and symmetry come to mind when I think of modern architectural designs, but the Stata Center appears to purposely disobey such trends. While I did not have a chance to go inside the building, the seemingly cartoonish outside with crooked lines create such a great sense of uniqueness to the structure, evoking my curiosity. I would later find out that the building was designed by the architect Frank Gehry, who also designed other buildings with a similar, unconventional style. The design of the building reminds me that in a world where many things tend follow a trend, whether logic-based or not, something that deviates from the orthodox allows it to stand out, to be noticed. While it may be impractical or more expensive to implement something unique, there can be beauty in the sense of individualism and character it brings.
