Information

Fariña described the 1950s-style engineering quad as "tinted aluminum plates, long sheets of weatherproofed glass, dymaxion torsions; the synthetic content of a collective architectural grab bag. Clean, well lighted, cheap to heat, functional, can be torn down and replaced over a long weekend or transported to Las Vegas by helicopter, demolition incorporated in the structural design. A nod to mortality."
