Advanced Geometry Architecture Paper Brookings Hall Washington University St Louis Brookings Hall a large structure positioned on the Washington University campus is an impressive building filled with history In 1899 Washington University held a competition to see who could come up with the best architectural design for the new building they planned on creating The competition was really fascinating because in the modern era such things like that don t exist and it gave everyone the chance to potentially design a gigantic building The administrators at Washington University selected the design submitted by a firm based in Philadelphia named Cope and Stewardson Cope and Stewardson was said to have taken inspiration from buildings at Cambridge or Princeton On November 3 1900 the first cornerstone was laid In two years the building would finish being constructed The building itself looks like the letter I because it has a long corridor intersected at its two ends with a smaller corridors The corridors are made out of stone and brick and look like rectangles with isosceles triangles of the same width on top of them The isosceles triangles create the roof and they are made out of asphalt shingles The brick design adds to the buildings prestigious ambience because it represents wealth as it is an expensive material The main large corridor is bisected by a tower like structure that looms over the rest of the corridors The tower is supported by two arches underneath that create a walkway which has a plaque dedicated to William Greenleaf Eliot the University s third chancellor Above the arches is a brick square that has four cylindrical hexagons sprouting up at each of its corners
