Photography Tour in MIT

The best photos of MIT aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology — where Brutalist concrete meets cutting-edge labs, and every building has a number instead of a name.
