wake's campus is very pretty but brick always screams "cheap" to me
as an architectural decision, i don't like red brick. the buildings on campus are fine but uninteresting.

I wouldn't go so far as the first post, but I can see where ITC is coming from with the second post. Thinking only about building architecture, I dont think MSD is exceptional. Not as unique or interesting as the columns at UVA, the gothic at Duke, Chicago or whoever else has gothic, etc.
It's the most authentic, though. Neoclassical and Gothic architecture constructed in the early 19th century is kinda washed. Georgian is timeless AF.
wat.
20th cent. georgian designs are just as phony as any other revitalized style. And i'm there's nothing necessarily 'authentic' about brick vs other building materials
You said brick looks cheap.
think they did a great job with farrell hall, for example
one great thing about cheap brick is that everything built since 2007 is LEED certified, including 4 gold and 4 silver certifications
i think it allows us to be modern and flexible with design in some ways and timeless in others

if you've got a campus with all gothic or neoclassical looks, you struggle to update buildings, retrofit with energy efficient materials, etc.
