The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is developing Kendall Square, where the City of Cambridge and MIT merge, to encourage the integration of business and academic research. The Kendall Square area is characterized by a variety of architectural styles, scales, and material palettes. As a key member of a focused design team, Weiss/Manfredi worked closely with MIT to develop an urban plan for the district that was responsive to this context and consistent with MIT?s programmatic goals. Weiss/Manfredi was then chosen to design 314 Main Street, known as MIT?s Site 5, which houses the MIT Press, the MIT Museum, and 12 floors of incubator office and research space.
