It's not a painting by Mondrian. It's the Harvard Graduate Student Housing building across the river from Cambridge, a structure that's fascinated me for some time now. Each window is slightly out of alignment with the others, and no two repeat the same pattern (at least not for several floors). I wonder if the asymmetry bothers the young student residents, or if they're glad to be marching to a different drummer, architecturally speaking.
