Summary

Description
English: Furnas Hall (left, background) and Bell Hall (right, foreground), on the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, Amherst, New York, July 2020. Both these buildings are representative of the work Marcel Breuer did on the North Campus in concert with the local firm of CannonDesign, eschewing the "soft approach" to Brutalism characteristic of his latter-period work in favor of a more conventional interpretation of the style. Built in 1974, Bell and Furnas Halls are the first two of four buildings that each share an identical design motif: dark brick windowless surfaces contrasting with rough-textured pre-cast concrete ones elsewhere, the latter punctured with an almost mechanically repetitive fenestration pattern where horizontal rows of windows stepped back diagonally into the façade are interspersed with narrower bands of geometric ornamentation. The ground floors are bedecked with an ornamental concrete latticework in a header bond pattern. Together, these four buildings house UB's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
