Brooklyn Orcutt- Blog 2 (Post 4)- Art & Architecture Building @ Yale

This building is one that Rudolph designed for Yale located in New Haven, Connecticut. This building is their art and architecture building. Construction on this building took place between 1958-1964. In 2008, this building was rededicated to Paul Rudolph and is now called Rudolph Hall. The building is made of concrete. Also, the concrete look on the outside carries into the inside of the building as well. Much of the inside matches the outside with the concrete theme.

Out of all the buildings of Paul Rudolph’s that I saw this was my least favorite.  I really do not like the look on the outside. It is plain and emotionless. The inside of the building seems dark and cold. It does not seem likes place that screams creativity for students majoring in arts and architecture. Most of his other stuff seems creative and modern. This building is an outlier from the rest.
