Amazing that people expect a dorm on a postage stamp lot to be architecturally significant

They exist for art and design. So, yes.

Every time a halfway decent private student housing tower goes up, everyone complains incessantly about how nice it is, because students are being spoiled (apparently). Then a school builds a relatively boring student housing tower, and it's abhorrent, unacceptable, looks like a jail ...

I have to wonder what you people actually want. Seems like it's always the opposite of whatever is happening.

Amen to this! That’s why I gave up and rarely post a thing anymore. Most posts are so negative and take contradictory points constantly. It’s exhausting to read the constant complaints. Let’s just stick to the news and chill out on so many opinions because most of you say one thing on a page then the next day say the complete opposite in another forum. Only about 10% of the posts are worth reading and actual news typically. The rest are constant whiny opinions about how you feel and think with very little thought about construction reality and economics. Geez…. Lol.

Humans are complainers. What else is new?

But we have a good idea of what it'll look like....right behind it.

Count me in as one of the people who don't like those buildings, even though they actually turn out slightly better than expected. And I'm not hard to please lol

It's ok to not like everything, but I can see the irritation if there were serial complainers.

Nice and needed infill for right there; although I have to admit these are not my favorite buildings. Something I can't wrap my head around; they just seem sort of blah to me. Just my opinion. I'm not an architect (I'm a Civil Engineer).

To me the building was possibly designed to give the notion of a black canvas/ or clean slate in reference to the design school of SCAD.

Yeah you would think a design school would have better design...

RocketSurgeon · #59 Posted **Sep 30, 2022, 11:43 PM**

It is a good design though. Unique, cohesive, intentional use of symmetry and negative space (one example: the windows on that dark gray tower are slightly off center to draw the eye to the center of the larger block). It's just that you don't care for it, which is a different thing from it being bad

There's a reason why sculptors and painters don't like for others to see their uncompleted works: they're unfinished, and invite premature criticism. Often it's the final details that bring a work together, and the SCAD project revolves around the auditorium structure which still has a long way to go. This style isn't by cup of tea, but I've been wrong before -- so I'm going to withhold judgment until the project is finished.
