I building with a reflective silver-ish siding. The windows are not aligned but rather in an curve, so is the buillding. Behind a more traditional modern brick building. To the side an even more shiny part of the building. That style is characteristic to Frank Gehry's style of architecture.

Canon 20D, Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX Fisheye.

Frank Gehry passed away this week. This is to my knowledge the only building he designed I have taken pictures of. It was last time I went to Cambridge, MA. It has been a while.

The Stata Center or Building 32 is part of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It was opened in March 2004. Source: Wikipedia

The picture was taken with the Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX Fisheye on a Canon 20D. The APS-C crop lead to less pronounced fisheye distortion. It was at the time my widest lens, which is an equivalent of a 24mm FoV on full frame.
