It was with little charity that my friends and I coined the term ‘retro-space-neo-gothic’ to describe the Johnson School’s Management Library Reading Room, or 101 Sage Hall. So why does the Management Library Reading Room, which sits shinily alongside Sage Hall without obstructing, let alone bulldozing it, continue to frustrate me? It slowly dawned on me that 101 Sage Hall is not, in fact, some glittering white elephant that has somehow wandered out of the grand circus tent behind it. I look more charitably at the Reading Room and almost sense the art-nouveau tracery of a Parisian metro entrance, the contorted organics of Gaudi and a vague anemoia for the world’s shattered crystal palaces.
