Buildings at Luther

Recently I was given the assignment of reading two books (The Poetics of Space, by Gaston Bachelard, and The Timeless Way of Building, by Christopher Alexander). Then, based on that reading, I was asked to identify two spaces at Luther — one living, and one deadening. I decided to begin by comparing two buildings, the Olson Campus Center, and Gullixson Hall (which is where my office is). The presentation I developed to showcase my conclusions, is now available (it’s a 10 mb file, however). It was actually quite a fun — and eye-opening — assignment. I thought some of you who know Luther might find it interesting.

Hint: it opens up in a browser, but takes a minute or more before it responds to clicking (which is how you advance it page by page).
