Looks like nothing so much as a military bunker. Needs artillery—incoming.
Agreed. If it were ugly but had some redeeming architectural or historic value, like certain ugly Victorian buildings, it might be worth saving. But it doesn’t. And the quality of construction of these buildings is abominable.
My brother went to school at a university designed by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill. There were few windows, and those that existed were filled with dark glass so the light inside was always gray. It was always surprising to emerge from the gloom and find that the sun was shining, because it didn’t look that way from inside. Being there was like being in the bowels of the Ljubjanka; one became filled with fear and desperation. The Stalinist reference must have inspired the professors in their Marxist-Leninism. Almost from the moment it was erected, this campus showed the pointlessness of its construction and began to leak, creak, and fall down.
I hate being the subject of some architect’s social experimentation and certainly object to paying for the experience.
Bulldoze the damned thing.
Yep. That corner thingy would make a dandy machine gun nest. I get a lot of feelings glancing at this beast but "reverent" isn't one of them.
