"This, Le Corbusier's only major building in the United States�designed to house classes in architecture, film, and other arts�has struck some critics as surprisingly 'modest and accommodating.' Its concrete exterior has a smooth, precise finish; tall, thin columns break up its interior spaces. A great curvilinear ramp bisects the structure and connects with the main stair and an exhibition space."
