[edit] Discussion
"Charles F. Rogers II was the youngest architect at his firm when he began designing what the Boston Society of Architects once dubbed 'the most beautiful building in Boston.'
"His vision for the Wellesley Science Center, with its pseudo-industrial exterior, panels of glass, and bold lines of orange, left critics enamored with the architect's marriage of an old gothic brick building to new construction.
"In 1978, the Globe's architecture critic called the center's soaring glass atrium 'one of the most spectacular architectural spaces in this region.'" — The Boston Globe, 2007.0823
