What is the name of the building in Cambridge, Massachusetts designed by Le Corbusier?

The building in Cambridge, Massachusetts, designed by Le Corbusier is the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts.

Located at Harvard University, the Carpenter Center was designed in collaboration with Chilean architect Guillermo Jullian de la Fuente. Harvard dean Josep Lluís Sert, who had previously worked in Le Corbusier’s atelier, helped bring the architect into the project. Construction was completed in 1962.

The building was conceived as a working center for art education rather than simply a conventional gallery. Its most distinctive feature is a broad, S-shaped concrete ramp that cuts through the building and carries pedestrians between Quincy and Prescott Streets. Studios and exhibition areas open onto this route, making artistic activity visible from the campus.

The Carpenter Center is often described as Le Corbusier’s only building designed primarily in the United States. He contributed to the United Nations Secretariat in New York, but that was a collaborative project; the Carpenter Center is the clearer answer to a question asking for his building in Cambridge. It now houses Harvard’s Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies.
