why does the architecture have to be so bland!!!

Come on Drury has quite a few good buildings on campus, and this does not include the library, new dorms, college park or the science center. Why not have some good architecture for a change. Making everything look the same is old, stale, boring, lame, regressive, tradition based and does not reflect the progressive nature of the school itself. some common sense please!!

Contrary to what some might think, "good" architecture is personal taste, nothing more.

Some of the ugliest campuses I have ever seen are the ones where some architect tries to make a statement with each new building. The Olin Library is the most beautiful building on campus - the ugliest is Lay Hall, even though the architecture I'm sure was deemed "in" when it was built.

When you give $6 million for a new building maybe then you can build something "progressive".
