Bush LibraryDoesn't match campus. Looks like a modern reinterpretation. Arrogant architect soiling our campus trying to win a design award?

Re: Bush LibraryIt fits just as well as the Owens Arts Center does.
Honestly, I wish they would have said 4uck it and had an architect like Pei or Calatrava do something innovative.
Re: Bush LibraryMatches the Crum Center...both look bad
Re: Bush LibraryCan someone explain to me why there is no screening around that big duct on top of crum? It is visible from all over and looks like patterson. The whole building kids like it got copied off on top so a cheapo screen wall would look better anyway

Bush LibraryAlways wondered why ATO was allowed to build their house and use something besides the red brick Georgian style that is so prevalent on campus. Guess its been 15-18 years since they got shut down now.
Peruna is my mascot!
Re: Bush Library
I think they partnered to do the Clinton Library. Now there's a jewel.
Re: Bush LibraryMore detours and less parking for SMU games.
Plagiarize!
Let no one else's work evade your eyes. Remember why the good lord made your eyes. So don't shade your eyes, just Plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize! (Only be sure always to call it, please .... "research.")
Re: Bush Library
No, that was Polshek/Ennead.
Re: Bush LibraryYou can set these photos up for various days and times I guess...haven't looked that closely at it, but gives you some idea as to what it looks like. The north and west sides of the building are much farther along with the brick work etc. http://www.bushcenter.com/the-bush-cent ... n-progress SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
Re: Bush LibraryWhy did they make YALE Blvd (SMU BLVD) all squiggly and kill all those 40 year old oaks?
Re: Bush Library
Just guessing here, but aside from the asethetics of a meandering roadway, a curved street like that tends to slow traffic down a bit. SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards.

Re: Bush Library
Is that to say we need more parking for games?
Re: Bush LibrarySo disagree with the prevailing opinions here. It does indeed fit the template for non-residence/classroom design of the campus: Meadows Museum, Fondren Science Library, Moody, Crum Center, Ford Stadium. All of these are contemporary versions of the Georgian style. I also applaud the landscaping plans. All in all much more attractive than the Clinton in Little Rock. So there! LOL
Re: Bush Libraryyea, the dumpy apartments or whatever was there looked much better or the soccer stadium with the ugly metal bleachers any class 1a school in Louisiann would be proud of.
