1.   The building seems out of place among the towering redwood trees.

2.   Every building seems designed to house desks and computers.

3.   The litany of plain bad and ugly buildings goes on, but perhaps more depressing than that is the realisation that only one modern building seems worthy of praise.

4.   As you walk through the campus, the long, low-slung buildings seem to slip past one another like barges.

5.   By early afternoon, every other building seemed to be on fire and thick plumes of acrid smoke darkened the streets and rose high above the city.

6.   Even though they will eventually be bricked over, you know they are underneath, and that somehow makes the virtual buildings seem more solid.

7.   From certain angles, the building even seems to be trailing a cape.

8.   Furnished simply with a reception desk, the lobby was a rectangular bubble of space on which the entire building seemed to float.

9.   From the air, the huge new houses here seem ludicrously out of place in a city where every other building seems ready to fall down.

10.   In fact, as the school grew the building seemed increasingly crowded.
