This is Patterson Office Tower (POT) on The University of Kentucky campus. It’s home to a small cafe/mezzanine, an obscure mathematics library, and the offices of all the professors and bureaucrats who don’t fit in the endearingly inefficient buildings elsewhere on campus. If, as civil engineers like to say, architecture is the art of wasting space, it’s oft-scorned brutalist style seems to be a good example of what would happen if we eschewed the discipline altogether.
