[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Princeton is still pretty but is rapidly getting overbuilt.  Recent projects like the new colleges and art museum have turned their back on what made the campus special.[/quote]
[b]I see no issue if it means they can educate more students.[/b] It is illegal to build half of their buildings anyway.[/quote]

OK.  Princeton could have built nice new buildings to do that.  But they didn't.[/quote]
The buildings look pretty nice, just not in classic Princeton style- as I said, that’s illegal. [/quote]

The new modern Princeton buildings look like stuff they are going to want to tear down in 30-40 years, just like a lot of stuff that was built in the 1960s.  The architects try to superficially give the modern designs some character by doing things like varying brick textures and stuff like that, but my bet is these buildings will be unloved over time.  I have no idea what Princeton was thinking when they dropped the huge modern, art museum replacement into a space that is far too small and the building is so jarringly different in design and scale to anything around it.[/quote]
