Continuing through Harvard Yard and its various historical monuments, it will continu on to the Carpenter Center – the only work of Le Corbusier in North America – as well as the abutting Harvard Art Museum, designed by the same architect responsible for the master plan of several buildings at Columbia’s new Manhattanville Campus.  Afterwards there will be a self-pay gathering at one of the Harvard Square eateries.
