<p>I wonder what happened with the law suit brought by MIT against the architect.</p>

<p>What is Columbia’s style? Urban/Greek?</p>

<p>Greek revival is the overall theme they’re going for with Butler, Lowe, etc but there’s a large number of classical/Moorish buildings.</p>

<p>…and Lerner.</p>

<p>I have to say that I have no problem with some aggressive eminent domain policy to expand the campus in Manhattan.</p>

<p>different stroke for different folks, but what have you been smoking man? :wink: </p>

<p>That a big part of what I dislike about MIT, they turned part of their campus into a pointless physics and aesthetic experiment, when the risk was too high and the reward or lack there of could be seen in the architectural plans before anything was built. I have to find to half decent angle for those structures.</p>

<p>My problem with MIT’s campus is that it’s the dry-est, most devoid of life campus you’ll find this side of Chernobyl. Even my father remarked: halfway through any semester, students would go through tree withdrawal. You’d be walking among the buildings and be hit by a sudden urge to see a tree, any tree, anywhere. Can get depressing for similar reasons, and walking along the Charles isn’t exactly a cure-all.</p>
