Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dept. of Architecture Architecture Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1994. Includes bibliographical references (p. 57-58). Physical fitness and athletics are far more important at MIT than the outsider might imagine. Exercising brings together the MIT community, not only the students but also the faculty and support staff. But the architecture of the existing facilities neither accurately symbolizes nor promotes the energy and significance of the athletic community to the campus as a whole. This thesis proposes a built extension of the Infinite Corridor in the West Campus. The extension, an elevated walkway, supports campus activities, including athletics, becoming the connection between academics and athletics. The goal in building the walkway on the campus organizational axis is to reinforce athletics as part of campus life. The actual elevated experience and machine-like form of the pier and the curved roofs and exposed structure of the various design elements -- all characteristics unique to the MIT campus -- further highlights the importance of athletics to the campus. by Michael L.
