i saw this posted on Chicagoist and am dumbfounded. Campus Squeeze (blog) named IIT the 9th ugliest campus in the U.S. But this is the comment that made my jaw drop... Quote:

What do you expect from a bunch of net nerds that are apparently 11 years old LOL - it's like a list of who's cute and who's ugly in a grade school lunch room (like the South Park episode!!).

Hmm.. some of the buildings in that link aren't THAT ugly.

Maybe he was just having a bad day when he visited IIT, hung over, not enough coffee, who knows? But UIC should've been a contender.

^ LOL I totally Agree!!!!!!!

UIC's problem for me has always been that the pieces don't hang together all that well. there are some absolutely fantastic works of brutalism like university hall or the science and engineering offices, but then there are those atrociously ugly walter netsch "snow flake" buildings like the art and architecture building that are just bad, bad, bad.

Oh My God...that guy is a complete and flaming retard.
Urine must tast good to him. Sorry, there were more beautiful "campus" pictures on his "worst" list than his "best" |
Being an IIT alum with pictures I took of the campus hanging on the wall I'm looking at right now, this very much feels like a personal insult and pisses me off to no end. The beauty of blogs -- people yapping about things they don't have the first clue about. I suddenly feel Lecom's pain and share his bleak outlook on the Interweb in general (re: Lecom's recent skybar thread for those who've seen it)
BTW thanks for the pictures Adrian :tup: |
lol, Some people's ignorance knows no bounds.

The buildings in AdrianXSands' post and the Campus Squeeze page apparently appeal to a lot of architects, but do you really think the general public likes them, on average?
Personally I agree with the general public. The majority of these buildings are hideous. Some are cool, and others are cool in some ways. But yeah, most of us will take a high quality faux historic building over Mies anyday. |

This guy is a total tool that knows nothing about architecture. He embarrasses himself and does not even know it. But I figure when they let the comments come back on-line he will get an ear full from some of our more qualified forumers on this topic. ;) "They need to get better architects at these schools. " ??? Ahaahaah! |
Just because we like certain buildings doesn't mean the general public does.
I could have done without the bashing bashing IC in order to compliment Cornell. |
