I share the dismay of many alumni regarding the pedestrian design of the new art museum, but that’s nothing compared with my astonishment and horror at the sight of the new technical building that lurches and stomps across the campus between Prospect Street and the football stadium. Is this a joke? This is a design that seems to ignore all the rules that generally govern architecture and would seem to have been created by someone with some variety of destructive pathology. What’s even more disturbing is that the administration approved it. Perhaps they should spend less time begging for money and more time dealing with the chaos that’s taking place on campus, both in architecture and otherwise.
