Deconstructing Humanities

Another cloudless dawn

The Duck Pond was renovated at UNM, and now there are no ducks, turtles, or fish.

Tearing down the old Humanities Building to build a new Humanities Building.

They de-paved A Parking lot to put an Art School on that spot.

My, that’s a big cracker you have there, Belafonte.

  1. Out with the old and in with the new. Hope the ducks, fish and turtles come back!

    That is a mighty big cracker!

    Trying to see your hippo. I see a man leaning back with binoculars looking for the hippo!

    • A man with binoculars is valid. The old Humanities Building is semi-historical in that it’s a Cubist-style building. However, UNM can’t keep it because the Department of Higher Education has a net-zero square feet policy. In order for any state-funded university or college to build new buildings, they have to demolish the same amount of square footage as the new buildings. Thanks, Dale.

  2. An art school sounds cool.

    I don’t see a hippo, but I do see Jake in the lower right, with W.C. Field’s head just above to the left.

    • All valid pareidoliaditis. The old art building was built in the late 70s. Not a great building to begin with. I spent a lot of time there working on my art/photo degree (ended up with an art/photo minor, six hours short of a double major), and not a thing has changed in that building since I was there in the early 80s. It’s definitely time for a new building. Thanks, Resa.
