Perfectly Imperfect
We took our granddaughter, a high school junior, to explore the campus grounds of UCLA in Westwood. Not being alumni ourselves, it was an adventure for everyone in our party.
This building, Royce Hall (1929), might be the most recognizable building on campus and associated with the university by most everyone.
At first glance, the building appears to be quite symmetrical. Yet in detail, it is far from that. The most easily spotted asymmetry is that there are 3 windows at the top of the left tower and 2 at the top of the right tower. Then there are interesting variations in masonry work. On one blog, I have read that one tower is taller by one row of bricks!
I'm sure that there are architectural enthusiasts out there who can cite the other interesting features.
