[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like the 1960s to 1990s was the golden age of bad architecture. At both Harvard and Princeton, the campuses look great until you run into some STEM (it always seems to be STEM) building built in this area and they look like garbage and out of place. Just a small pet peeve. The newer buildings are now built in the style of the 18th and 19th century buildings.[/quote] The point about 1960s-1990s architecture is true of a lot of universities. At my undergrad, the information science building (which looked like a concrete space invader) and another ugly modern 1970s research building have already been torn down and replaced. The pre-WWII buildings get renovated.[/quote] Thanks to Vietnam War, construction for a few decades was optimized for police ability to lock down uppity students (Canaday Hall). We might see a revival of that in the modern Gaza era. [/quote]
