Wow!! Great picture. The subject is very interesting in itself. The composition and cropping made it even more so.

I love to see that building every time I pass by the M.I.T. area. They say that it is also a kind of social experiment. As there are no straight walls and some area do not have a wall at all (only large windows), different people rearrange their offices in many different ways according to their personalities. Some (especially students) like to leave the transparent walls free, and don't mind "living in a fishbowl". Other instead had gone to the estreme measures to cover the glass walls with paint to preserve their spaces... You can tell a lot of a person according on the way is organizing the space in which lives, and this building is a great opportunity for this kind of "studies"...

That's certainly an interesting building! But you've captured it very well, the composition works great.
