What style of architecture is MIT's Stata Center?

Thanks in advanced.
 
Deconstructivism is the generally accepted description.

With Stata, Gehry blends the aesthetic priorities of Louis Kahn and Dr. Seuss in a truly masterful fashion.
 
I think Deconstructivism will be the Brutalism of tomorrow
 
In terms of its public acceptance, you may be on to on to something.
 
I can't imagine it will face nearly the same backlash as Brutalism. There's something about works like this that echo the popular organicity of Art Nouveau...

Maybe it just works better when your context isn't the wasteland of Kendall Square. Deconstructionism requires something to deconstruct, afterall.
 
woah thats stata...just not...look at the windows!
