Ever walked down Vassar Street? It's like the Museum of Crappy Architecture in the 20th Century. I'd want to bulldoze that as soon as possible too.

I love that crazy jagged building! Best thing around there.

Space Waffle residents love their space - it is a very functional dorm, apparently.

The concrete buildings that were built in the 50s and 60s are horrid, but function okay as laboratory space. I remember them as sterile, imposing, and stinking of ciggy smoke.

The Stata Center was intended as a showpiece, but it seems to be the sort of albatross for many of the same reasons that bedeviled Grave's Portland Building.

It's so ugly - and badly done ugly, like a school project - that it forces you to look across the street at Chuck Correa's Picower Center/McGovern Brain Whatever.

Which is simply beautiful, especially at night. It reminds me of walking along the Vietnam Memorial in DC.
