@wow that was harder than i thought. i knew them all but, i didn’t ever realize how architecturally identical the buildings are. to me they always seemed to have more character.
@Except... A’s got the attic classroom that the Creative Writing kids occasionally get holed up in. And that’s JUST fine.
@Anonymous A and K look identical.
@DaveBarnes A: Door, 2 windows, column
K: Door, 3 windows, column
@brilliant and hysterical
@distracted this is harder than the econ midterm i’m studying for.
@drunk and confused. am i just retarded or do they all look the same?
@Josh Hirschland Wow, that’s amazing. Thanks Mark.
@White Yeah, but then we wouldn’t have been inspired to put up the phallic fountains on Low plaza.
@Mead Maybe if we’d spent last time Brokback Mountaining it around, we couldn’t done a better job.
@McKim wow, i didn’t realize how monotonous my designs were.
@cs easy. decent facade photos though. you should get columbia to make these part of its shitty virtual tour:
