Not sure, though I always wonder about the fact that the "...and Political Science" is hardly ever mentioned, so there must be stuff in their style guide. To be honest, I suspect the dropping of ST&M was mainly to raise the profile of the Business School who just spunked 25 mil up Norman Foster on a new building. Someone kill that man, he is responsible for the atrocity that is the central spiral staircase in the LSE library. Oh, I quite liked it, but then I was shown around it a few days before it, and that was more for the purposes of "look at our new cool thing" rather than actually trying to get any books. He also designed the GLA building which has a similar spiral staircase. Usually the purpose of a staircase is for people to walk on it, but with the LSE one the main purpose is so photos of it can be put in university publicity. I firmly believe that the designer of these things has never tried to walk on them. Why is a spiral staircase so hard to walk up anyway? I don't remmeber LSE's being particularly tricky? (Though I do know from experience at York that having the main staircase in the middle of the open building is utter crap for noise levels if you are trying to work.) |
