INTERBAU 1957
Hugh Stubbins and Associates architects 1955
The structural implementation of the program’s claim, however, met with difficulties: Stubbins’s original design was for a free-floating roof supported by only two pillars. The idea of a roof resting only on a few points corresponded to the zeitgeist of organic building of that time. In 1953–1956 Eero Saarinen had constructed a roof for the Kresge Auditorium of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge that rested only on three supports.
