winterise - never expected to see my exam hall appear on tFS
here's some more from Trinity College, Dublin. The best thing is that since it's 500 years old, the city as it currently stands was built around it.. so while it's secluded and quiet within, all the shopping streets and life is directly outside the door.
yeah I think the State Center is really interestingly designed on the interior as well. It has a lot of impromptu gathering space with chalkboards etc. so groups can just go out and get together and do work. They also have a lot of wall space because they know that when people are working on laptops they prefer to have their back to the wall. Things like that.
Well the first image is almost cartoon like so I agree that's probably not an accurate representation of it, but I still enjoy the aesthetic and more importantly the integration of function in it's shape.
Sweet Briar College in Virginia, rated America's Most Beautiful Campus by the Princeton Review!! The architect was Ralph Adams Cram, who also designed Princeton, MIT, Wellesley, and West Point.

I also love that very English strong red brick. Beautiful.
One of my favorite college buildings, the Gehry designed Stata Center at MIT

That building is amazing!
Here's the university at which I spent 1.5 mediocre years.. Loyola University New Orleans. It was pretty small compared to Tulane (which was next door) but I suppose cozy in its own way.. though just not the school for me ultimately!
