On the Ground at the Official Christening of the 'New' Paul Rudolph Hall

It is official: Paul Rudolph‘s Art & Architecture building, which we’ve discussed at length recently, is no more. In its place, the Paul Rudolph Hall, the same building, just cleaned up a bunch and with Charles Gwathmey‘s not-so-hotly received new structure attached to it. Thanks to Archinect, we were pointed to the story in the Yale paper about this weekend’s opening ceremonies, which apparently brought out more than 600 people, including Richard Levin and, of course, the school’s dean of architecture and the reason for the facelift, Robert A.M.
