Sorry I missed that post in my horror about plastic plants
I went to a Univesity that was being built as I attended it. It was in the days of 60's cement modling architecture (In fact the fashion was over 1967- but no one told Macquarie's architect) Many of the buildings looked like French or German Gun emplacements of WW1
For some bizarre reason, I was in the first debate at Macquarie which was "That this University should be covered in Instant Ivy".
I have been back to the Uni in recent years. It is even worse now with Multi story car parks everywhere. (of course it was placed well away from public Transport- great planning)
One of the less 'brutal' buildings at Macquarie. There is a surprising? lack of photos of its buildings on Google.
