The policy was formally instituted in 1968, but earlier collaborations between artists and architects can be found on MIT’s campus. When architect Eero Saarinen designed the MIT Chapel in 1955, sculptor Theodore Roszak designed the Bell Tower and sculptor Harry Bertoia designed the Altarpiece. In 1985, architect I.M. Pei and artists Scott Burton, Kenneth Noland, and Richard Fleischner collaborated on Percent-for-Art projects for the Wiesner Building and plaza, home to the MIT List Visual Arts Center and the Media Laboratory.All our programs are free, but registration is preferred.This program is weather dependent. Registered attendees will receive an email the day before the tour date if needed to cancel due to weather conditions.This program is part of the Independent Activities Period (IAP), a special four-week term at MIT.
