I'm getting tired of the growing popularity of using glass and steel beams in university buildings. Think of the classic, timeless university buildings you find on your travels, and you see cut stone, arches, columns and iron. And no it doesn't have to be only at 500 year old colleges in Europe, we have examples in Toronto from the last century that are IMO ideal, such as Trinity College at UofT, much of Queens University in Kingston, etc....these are the ideals that I'd like to see in today's Uni buildings.
None of these new glass and steel buildings will be considered classic in 2108, since they'll have likely fallen down already or into disrepair, while the classic stone buildings carry on.
