"The most important thing for us is wall space," Chung says. "We need to pin up our projects to discuss them." Yet, due to the curvature of corridor walls and other factors, tacks fall off easily when people brush past, disturbing or damaging students' work.
While Chung admits that people are impressed with the building, actually studying there is another matter. "Rooms are curved but the furniture in them is boxy," she says. "We all work on laptops and need to charge them. Because of the windows, all the sockets are imbedded in the floor and covered with removable caps. This means that people are always tripping over cords or holes in the ground. Every 10 minutes, I hear someone yell 'Aiya' because they have wheeled their chair into a pothole."
