Campus Reconnaissance

   The three buildings we saw on Friday were very different in style and design, however there were some similarities. The engineering complex and Whitehall are the most similar because of their shape and form, they are both very rectangular and have straight continuous lines that add to their over all look. They both also have a sense of contrast created by the use of white material that breaks up the red brick. Repetition is also created in these buildings with the windows. Miller hall looks the most different from all of the buildings. It still has line created with the tower-like part. It too has contrast with the brick material and the stone and concrete. The most obvious difference between the three buildings is the balance, Whitehall is very symmetrically balance where as the engineering complex and Miller Hall are more A-symmetrically balanced.
   These buildings don't really make a cohesive statement, there are similarities but they don't really feel connected. Whitehall is more modern in design, the engineering complex is also modern but has a different feel to it. Miller Hall has a very different design than the other two. My favorite building is Miller Hall, this building is very unique, it has a very odd shape to it and the history of it is interesting.
