Centennial Housing

Centennial Housing

  • CA CAC 58-1-354
  • Subseries
  • between 1982 and 1986

    • Part of Moshe Safdie

This project consists of 267 units of housing designed to be occupied by moderate income, permanent residents who are employed in the Aspen area. The three-story structures utilize prefabricated modular wooden units, completed off-site, to reduce on-site construction time which is limited due to weather conditions. The buildings are clustered around open spaces and have glass enclosed terraces which overlook panoramic views of the resort community of Aspen and Aspen Mountain. The units are entered from parking areas at the rear of the complex. The project was realized during the 1984 construction season.

Class of 1959 Chapel, Harvard Business School

Class of 1959 Chapel, Harvard Business School

  • CA CAC 58-1-366
  • Subseries
  • between 1984 and 1992

    • Part of Moshe Safdie

This nondenominational sacred and meditative building juxtaposes two very different spaces. A terraced garden rich in flowering trees offers a place for personal contemplation. Through its glazed, pyramidal roof visitors see the changing seasons of the campus outside. A 100-seat sanctuary contained by rounded, apselike concrete walls, rises to a height of 27 feet. For maximum flexibility this sanctuary room has no dominant axis; it frequently functions as a home for musical performances of varying sizes. Skylights flood the walls with light from above and large-scale prisms fixed in the skylights refract the sun's full spectrum. The exterior of the building is a cylindrical oxidized copper drum penetrated on the west by the garden space. A tower timepiece marks the entrance to the chapel.

Simple moves of form and orientation combine to create a unique place for contemplation and gathering in a busy campus setting. Skylights and prisms wash glowing patterns of light across the chapel walls throughout the course of the day.
