Wiesner building, Modernist academic building in Cambridge, USA.
The Wiesner Building features six floors with white modular metal panels and gridded exterior displaying technological influences through its architectural elements.
Constructed between 1978 and 1984, architect I. M. Pei designed this structure, which received its name from former MIT president Jerome Wiesner and his wife Laya.
The structure incorporates art installations from Kenneth Noland and Scott Burton, merging technological research with artistic expression through its various spaces.
Located at 20 Ames Street, the building houses the MIT Media Lab, List Visual Arts Center, and Center for Bits and Atoms.
