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.
