Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts 於 1963 年落成,是瑞士裔建築大師 Le Corbusier 與智利建築師 Guillermo Jullian de la Fuente 聯手打造的建築,亦是 Le Corbusier 在北美唯一的作品。一條呈 S 形的混凝土斜道引領訪客離開 Quincy Street,緩緩步入三樓並穿過多扇工作室玻璃窗——體現了 Le Corbusier 將「藝術綜合體」融入動線設計的理念。時至今日,Carpenter Center 的當代藝術展覽及項目分佈於 Level 1、Level 3 及 Sert 等展廳,並常設委託創作、出版計劃、公眾活動與藝術家駐留項目,全部免費對公眾開放。中心亦與 Harvard 的 Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies 及 Harvard Film Archive 共用這座建築空間。
