I didn't think his tricks worked particularly well on a building for offices and classrooms. MIT has hired the leading architects (including some alumni like I. M. Pei) to design their buildings since WW2, and in most cases the building-as-art-object trumped functionality. But here we are talking about it, so it worked! The building across the street from it, the new Cog Sci building, appears to be a much better design from the point of view of the people who use it.
But I do love his work for spaces like museums, concert halls, etc.
