America's top buildings
There's a list out of America's Top 150 architectural structures. The Empire State Building is No. 1. The Gateway Arch is No. 14. Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwaters is No. 29. The list is top heavy with popular buildings for tourists to look at (the White House is in the Top 10) and doesn't necessarily include the most aesthetically beautiful or striking structures in America. How could they possibly leave off the Campus Support Facility at UMR?
By the way, UMR's relatively new architectural engineering program is the only program of its kind in Missouri. And the UMR Solar House Team is getting ready to build yet another house to show off on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Anyway, what's your favorite building on campus? Norwood Hall? The Rolla Building? Or, if you live elsewhere, what's your favorite building -- architecturally speaking -- in your home town or city, and why? (I favor stadiums: the old Ahearn Field House in Manhattan, Kan.; the still-modern Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.; Civic Stadium (now PGE Park) in Portland, Ore; even the new Hammons Field in Springfield, Mo.)
