"Experience," R.A.C., & I.M. Pei

I received an email from a rep for the Educational Development Program at the State University of New York at Fredonia regarding "Experience": a Spanish-translated publication created to promote the college within the Latino community. Photos were taken of me last semester for the publication and two of them were chosen, one of which will fill  quarter of a spread, along with a quote. 

 
The quote I provided referenced the close relationships and personal / educational benefits of attending a small university. While very accurate of my experiences, I wish I had stated something more specific to the school.  I began to read the  publication, and came across a small blurb about the  Michael C. Rockefeller Arts Center.  I now regret not writing about the university's inspirational architecture and the magnificent I.M. Pei designed building I had the honor of painting in for the majority of five years. 

For whatever reason, all of the photos I could find of the campus are of Maytum, but the R.A.C. can be viewed in the far left of the first photograph above. I'm still in love with that building. It houses my soul. I.M. Pei is also known for redesigning The Grande Louvre with its pyramidal addition.
