OK, OK, I’m being lazy by just calling the Stata Center ugly and walking away. The plus is that it is a nice kick in the butt to all the boring buildings in the Tech Square neighborhood and the MIT campus. The minus is that… it totally sucks.

I guess I feel like this is another Skullsplitter/Budweiser situation: just because it doesn’t suck because it’s mundane and cheap doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck.

Also, given that Gehry buildings have a history of abetting the violent and berserk, and given MIT students’ propensity for creative suicides, I also think that this might be a volatile combination. Though the space waffle might be a better candidate for something like that happening.
