Post Post Modern?

I am here inside the Very New Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture at CCNY. I feel a bit wierd about the name, but maybe I am getting used to it. Since I learned of the name a few months ago I have notice the spitting is a popular past time/event in the surrounding neighborhood. Apparently AF=Bernard Spitzer was (is?) an architect/engineer/real NY Real Estate mogul who spawned AF=Elliot Spitzer, former Governor of NY. (Can you tell I have become increasingly skeptical about given identities in the six years since I moved to Manhattan?)I would love if there could be a watermelon-seed spitting contest to christen the building.

This Fall I am taking a course in World Architecture and attempting to get a leg up on the reading this week. (I cheated my way through world history class at John Marshall H.S.. Don't tell Coach Kirby.)

As for the building, I enthusiastically give two thumbs up. Mostly my praise is for the excellent lighting, beautiful floors, and large amounts of public space including a central gallery space. (Someday someone will invent public toilets that don't spray water everywhere when flushed...but not this year...not here.)
