State U. of New York's Campus Is Modernist From End to Distant End

Another nice article by the Chronicle's Lawrence Biemiller. Accessing the article may require registration, however viewing and listening to the 4-minute narrated slide show does not:

Fans of Modernist architecture can’t help but be wowed by the expansive campus that Edward Durell Stone designed for the State University of New York at Albany in the early 1960s. Stone chose a vaguely Islamic, vaguely Mediterranean style that features sleek columns, elegant arches, and vistas that never seem to end — in part because the main block of academic buildings is more than five football fields long.

Tip of the hat to SCUPer, and former SCUP staffer, Mendi Spencer.
