Got to tour the new Darla Moore School of Business at UofSC shortly after it opened. Much of it was still under construction during the media tour, and in fact, the Media Relations folks nearly had a nightmare on their hands when an elevator threatened to trap a full media contingent on board.
It’s an fascinating building, designed to promote interactions and to use energy efficiently. You have to see it from the internal courtyard to really see it; those driving by are likely to see just a hodgepodge of shapes.
Here’s the story I wrote about it for Columbia Metropolitan magazine, though they decided to edit out some of my architectural observations about the exterior appearance. So much for my run as a critic.
