I love the architecture!

Nice video! Very welcoming.

I thought the architectural style was more neo-Gothic, fashionable then more many University campuses...particularly in the U.S. I'm surprised the clock didn't include even a single bell, never mind a chime or even a carillon! That could have become the signature voice of the University.

Are there any surviving examples of the other designs from the competition?

[@Anderschristoph125]

Wow, that was really interesting, I've been in there to hassle staff with my questions a few times, I didn't realise it was art-noveau.

Great clip with zero pictures of construction, the title is the history of? Another architect competition to design a building. That’s how they explain just about every building that we have predating ww2 and ww1. Designing and engineering a building for free with the hope of winning. Yup that’s how you make a living in this cut throat world.
