Judging Buildings/Additions
I thought these were two cool examples from GW University. Above is from the Marvin Center:
I think the glass part looks fantastic and actually blends a bit with the concrete part. What do you guys think?
And not too far away is a pretty seemless brick extension:
The front part of the brick building above houses the GW Tonic.

I absolutely loathe glass and steel. It soulless.
its more the usage than the materials themselves.
far more can be done with glass and steel than what this building illustrates.
i’ve seen a lot of soulful uses of architectural float glass.
Agree.
Architecture is not two dimensional you have to experience the space to understand it – with that said I think overall its not a bad space but outstanding – pretty standard office park grade. The sad thing is on the inside you go from three floors of open space to a very low hallway on on end and then a wood paneled dinning room off the other – very disconnected. I love steel and glass though – one of my favorites at a school (since the post was about GWU) is at the Chicago Graduate School of Business http://staging.veritasprep.com/schools/images/Chicago.jpg
