Pusey Library (Cambridge, Massachusetts)

USA / Massachusetts / Cambridge / Cambridge, Massachusetts

library, Modern (architecture)

Library building designed c. 1970 in the Brutalist style by Hugh Stubbins Associates. At the center, a two-story light well between Houghton and Lamont is apparent seemingly to only those who look for it. Sunk down two floors into the ground, the well is home to a Japanese Maple tree which just peaks out from its subterranean home providing a clear statement of presence.
