Talley Student Renovations part III: Final Overview

        Hello, after reviewing the Talley Student Union in parts I and II, I'm going to review the merits of this new Student Union building. Overall, this building is a masterpiece of contrast because there are many dimensions to the functionality of this structure; the inclined plane on which the building is constructed as well as the curved shell like outline of the building provides a the great foil in which this piece of architecture has so much of. the distinct shape and the space for recreation also served as the finer points of the new Talley which allows people on the courtyard to admire the new building, much like the new library in Centennial Campus. The bold integration of the original brick filled area of the entire campus as well as glass also served as good pointers about the new Talley student union. Overall, much like the Hunt Library before it, it is a brilliant piece of architecture which highlights NC State's modernist campus.
