Colorado State University Library

That's a mistake right there. CSU rebuilt their library, well expanded it, in the 90's because they needed more space. The design was post modern. I guess they thought it looked cool. It reminds me of the new Denver Art Museum. It looks goofy and pretentious and it's not entirely functional. The 3 story glass wall in the picture faces the West. It gives you a decent view of the foothills, and the parking lot, but when you are reading a book at 5 pm the Sun will be right in your eyes, blinding you. And, if you are on a computer near there, it'll be hard to read cause of all the glare. I think they made some sort of movable window tinting/shade they drop down when needed. Seems like a kluge. Didn't anyone think of this when they bought the plan? Maybe the people making these decisions didn't actually used the library? If that's the case, damn their gall.

Another fuck-up in the design is that now, if you don't want to be near a window, you're shit out of luck. It used to be that the basement didn't have any windows. I used to like studying down there. You wouldn't get distracted by what you saw out the window.

CSU is building a new CS building. Hope they don't fuck it up. I got a letter, from the College of Natural Science I believe, asking me if I wanted to donate to this. Nope.
