Stiff competition from Benasque's Center and the Perimeter Institute, however. Also Caltech's IQIM!

HKUST IAS
I have a new candidate for coolest research institute architecture. HKUST's Institute for Advanced Study is housed in an amazing building with a view of Clearwater Bay in HK. The members of the institute will be mostly theoretical physicists and mathematicians :-)

You don't get views like that from the PI in Waterloo!
ReplyDeleteWell, this sure made my University look like a dunghole.
ReplyDeleteU of T's campus organization and architecture has no redeeming features as far as I know of.
It has one: it emulated LSU's clock tower and quadrangle layout (minus the northern Italian charm, plus a huge dose of giantism), as did Berkeley. I must say, HKUST's transporter facilities are quite fetching.
ReplyDeleteJutty, brutalitarian, imperial. Yeah. That's the ticket.
