of the campus buildings all contribute to the overall experience we have on campus. Most of the building are brick and incorporate some elements of stone and glass in them. Bricks emphasize strength and longevity, Stone, permanence, and Glass, alternative views?? The newer buildings seem to incorporate more glass. Maybe glass symbolizes forward thinking and the future.

Principles

Classical principles are most evident to me when looking at the UNCG Campus. Most of our building are constructed of brick and have "temple" like entrances.

Alumni House

Elliot University Center

Petty Building

The Alumni House and Petty Science buildings are both examples of buildings that I would say have a temple like entrance. The Elliott building is a much more modern interpretation. Most prominent are the grove like columns. The circular structure behind the columnsset back from the front facade of the building. Stairs lead up to this entrance creating the stacking motif, the columns create the grouping motif, and the circle creates the circle motif.

side view of the main entrance of Weatherspoon. The use of grouping is seen again.

The bell tower. Shows grouping, stacks, and circles. Very human like, in an abstract kind of way.

The library and it's stacks addition behind it. Grouping is shows in the columns on the front as well as the three major planes of the stacks. The circle can be seen in the rounded portico. Stacks can be seen in the book stacks as well as the stairs leading up to the library entrance.

Here we see the music building. Grouping is shows in the building pilasters,
