Preston Scott Cohen is the head of architecture at the Harvard GSD, and will incidentally be here this this weekend for a conference on the state of drawing and representation.
His museum has been in the works for a very long time, and epitomizes his idea of manipulating complex surfaces as a mode of designing - something that has very strongly shaped the formalist aspect of the GSD dutch/formalist curriculum.
It is interesting - this type of architecture has been present in academia, but the amount of realized projects are very few. I look forward to visiting it to see how successful it is.

Apologies for the nerd-out.
