Art-chitecture

Penn State is a collection of people from all around the world.  With such a wide variety of people, everyone has their own little bit of creativity.  One of the most creative and interesting looking buildings on campus is the Stuckeman Family Building.  This is building is also known as the Architecture Building, to people like me who never knew the true name of the building.

The Stuckeman Family Building is a unique structure.  The first thing that can be noticed about the building is that it is a Statue of Liberty copper color.  The building is also very cubic in shaped, and kind of looks like a big long square copper snake, on a square brick brown rock.  This is a really abstract way of describing the building, but I really don't know how to describe it.  The building also has many different windows all over with all kinds of different shapes.  The walls of the building jut out at some points and there is also a little walkway that goes down under part of the building.  There is not very much symmetry to the building, and it is very block like, but it is still a very cool building to look at.

The building itself is truly a creative and interesting piece of architecture, which fits with it being the home of the department of architecture.  This building is a work of functional art, that is used every day.  That makes it a truly beautiful piece of art.  Everyone who creates something in life strives, to make it a piece of art.  Whether that person is building a house, painting a picture, writing a book, or even cooking dinner, everyone tries to turn their projects into a form of art.  This is one of the things that makes trying worthwhile, to see the beauty in something you have created and feeling that accomplishment of knowing that you created something.

The Stuckeman Family Building also emphasizes innovation.  The whole building itself looks like a giant ball (block) of innovation.  The large windows on the end as well as the many windows jutting out of the side like portholes allow people to view all of the surroundings and bring in as much inspiration for innovation as possible.  These many windows symbolize the buildings openness to innovation.  As well as a willingness for people to take in other people's ideas when creating art.

The Stuckeman Family Building is truly a piece of art on campus.  The interesting and creativeness of the architecture of the building truly show that it is home to architecture students all across campus.  The Stuckeman Family Building is an icon of innovation on campus and can take inspiration from all around it.  This building is truly an invitation for people of all majors to include their own art in all of the things that they do.  That way that they can be proud of the things that they create and know that what they did create is unique just like the Stuckeman Family Building.
