Vilas Communication Hall, University of Wisconsin

Like the adjacent Mosse Humanities Building, which was connected with a footbridge, that was demolished in 2015, the Vilas Communication Hall follows a Brutalist design language as well. However, here it is executed in a more monumental way. Multiple interjoined volumes form a vigorous overall image.

St. Paul's

Exposed concrete church, sitting on a stair base, resting on curved beams which are holding the top-heaviness of a concrete cube. Inside, concrete pews have been covered by grey carpets. The sacral building was the epitome of change, resulting from the Second Vatican Council. It also served as a backdrop for some of the biggest vietnam protests in the country which took place on the University of Wisconsin's campus.

George L Mosse Humanities Building, University of Wisconsin

The building stands out with ist emphasized structure and materials. Concrete supports and iron window elements structure the façades rhythmically. It was connected with the Vilas Communication Hall with a footbridge, which has been demolished in 2015.
