Is that the Bing Thom project that was being talked about, or is this another project? Hope that's not Thom's...

Yes it is. Why if I may ask?

Sorry. I was perhaps expecting something less boxy from Mr. Thom, and perhaps a bit more original, for lack of a better word. His other designs seem more iconic, although I'm not a fan of that word.

^I'm starting to see a number of architects incorporating 1960's moderism design elements in various new projects.

What I was going to say. The Centre of the Arts reminds me of Cardinal's work.

True and true

One difference though... Cardinal elevates horizontally.

Im really taking to this early concept; simple, clean, elegant, and for those elements, it will remain timeless.
As i mentioned on C2E (ctzn-Ed), this early concept compliments AGA and the aborialis theme as well; so what ever color scheme they use, hopefully it will 3-4 tones combination to really bring it to life. I like to see blue sky color so the greyish them from the Robinson Centre can be pulled into this new centre for the purpose of transition and identification of the university. Things are truly looking up now for that area. I'm excited!

I really like it. I certainly prefer this to the AGA design.
