Fletcher Hall a University of Louisiana Architectural Statement

[Turbine]

The building does not NEED red brick anywhere on it. You people have no originality.

I like split look architecture.

The back side (campus side) reflective.

The front side forward looking.

Bring out the, "Whatdyou mean YOU people???" remarks. ;-)

---------Some say that all needs to look alike before something can look different----To this I agree but a thematic look to a campus is extremely pleasing visually----This piece of crap that went way out on the looking different realm was an example of lets be cool as this is our trade and will look great---It stinks and everybody knows it!!!

I am beginning to think that the last great American architect was Thomas Jefferson. God knows there hasn't been one since 1950 anyway. Everything architect designed since then is an affront to beauty. Glass and steel monstrosities with no character. I have seen some progress, but this design of Fletcher [either one] definitely are NOT progress.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Jefferson was a copy cat, we just as soon get a bunch of old Greeks to design things.

Now if UL wanted to become the second Greek empire I am good with that.

Yea a big old brick building that looks like 1850 is just what this university needed.

When the Ivy walks are far behind --not matter where our paths may wind---We'll remember always Graduation Day!!! Tradition!!!

So you can't use red brick anywhere in a building plan and be original? I think we need to revamp our architecture program.

[USL1970]

There is no red brick in the new design - anywhere.

I love the look of the architecture on the back of Dupre' Library.

I didn't say you CAN'T. I said you don't NEED it. There's a difference. I was responding to someone that said it needed red brick somewhere on it, I was simply disagreeing and saying that you definitely don't NEED red brick. Come on.

Now that I know Charles Beasley critiqued the project, I have confidence in it.
