That was designed by
Frank Gehry, one of the world's most celebrated architects. I'm not a big Gehry fan.
I think that it's MIT's
Stata Center. It replaced a temporary building, "Building 20" that was in use since right after WWII. A lot of legendary research projects were done in Building 20, and it was believed that the temporary nature of that structure encouraged innovation. Because Building 20 was supposed to be temporary, its occupants felt free to punch through walls, and alter the facility to meet their needs. Gehry kept this in mind when designing Building 20's replacement, and designed it with features like movable walls.
