...paintings in “Frank Stella 1958” show the beginnings of the reductiveness that culminated in the black paintings. Most of them explore the same very basic composition: a combination of horizontal stripes with rectangular shapes. In a succession of works, Stella explores the different ways that these stripes can be made and the different ways the rectangles can interact with them...
...fret. The city boasts plenty of innovative places. One of them is La Broche in the Miguel Angel hotel, whose executive chef, Sergi Arola, apprenticed with Adri. Dining at La Broche is an immersion in formalism. The color scheme of the dining room is sci-fi white, from the rectangular tables to the window blinds.

...from most members of the GSD faculty, who will not comment. But while design experts stood by quietly, local residents protested the construåction of CGIS, and the City of Cambridge blocked Harvard’s initial plan to construct a tunnel connecting the two buildings. Covered with rectangular terracotta panels, the building’s exterior responds to the traditional brick buildings and sidewalks that characterize Cambridge and Harvard. But, although the terracotta acknowledges the center’s Cantabrigian context, it nevertheless remains true to Cobb’s minimalist, highly geometric style. And such a conscious...
