Pagoda at Charles B. Wang Asian American Center at SUNY Stony Brook

Charles B. Wang, founder of Computer Associates, will have a student center dedicated to teaching SUNY Stony Brook students about Asian culture opening this spring. The building is designed by P.H. Tuan (who happens to a great-uncle by marriage), and the abstracted pagoda, as pictured above, seems more lovely as a form, more so than the building as a whole, but the indoor pool is cool. Learn more about the Charles B. Wang Center at Stony Brook. The opening of the center was attended by Governor Pataki, with master of ceremonies, our favorite Chinese local reporter, Ti-Hua Chang, of WNBC.
