Inspector's Eye



FADA Building - Part2 Two weeks ago I mentioned that the classrooms in FADA were locked before and after the lectures and made some speculations about the subject. This week I would like to focus on the architecture of the building. It looks very different from the other buildings on campus. When you step inside for the first time, you are confused because of the structure. If you have a lecture on the ground level there will not be any problems but if you have to go upstairs, now that is a real problem. If you have entered the building from the right side you face a "path" that goes diagonally. After going through the first steps of familiarizing yourself with the building (which I believe includes this "path") you recognize that actually it is divided in two parts: the classrooms and the rooms of the academic personnel. But there is a trick, if you go into one of the corridors of the academic personnel's rooms and keep on walking for a while you step into another building! Well although this discovery makes people feel like a rat in a maze, after a while it becomes very ordinary. But the building somehow has a different feeling. It is not constrictive; there are columns and the space in the middle is very light. It makes you feel alive with its experimental approach. But again sometimes, you feel like a rat.
