Not so big, since they had less money. Basically, they change the style of architecture every time they build a new building, a la granite counter tops. Except they don't tear out the old stuff (even if it does look awful), because they don't have THAT much money. So the whole campus is a glorious display of "this is what the Home Depot Architect sold us THIS decade".<br /><br />It would come to no surprise to you that I pick which building I study in by where I can find the most natural light. It would probably also come as no surprise to you that, after building ceilings a gabazillion feet high, with floor-to-ceiling widows facing the wrong direction (e.g. not south, and for some reason it gets cold by those windows), the architect then told them they could put desks and chairs in front of said windows, because it would spoil the view. They put in a few "stylish" chairs so we can look stylish in front of the windows, but I spoil the picture with balancing papers and books and laptops and calculators and writing utensils all over the cool chairs. Leave it to a student trying to learn to ruin a good view.T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-91607385632047340272013-11-20T13:42:50.951-05:002013-11-20T13:42:50.951-05:00Dang!
