Can you admit at least that the rendering was/is purposefully deceitful?

I don't think it was the intent to deceive and the original intent may have been to glass the SE wall. I do know that the state now offers "free" money up to a certain percentage of the project total on state jobs for art. Also, LSU (academic buildings) has been pushing for lower maintenance and "green" (:shudders:) buildings. Lately that has meant fewer windows or sunshades on walls that see more direct sunlight.

I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere along the design process it was decided that it would be more beneficial to use this wall as a template for some "free" artwork. This has the added benefit of reducing a lot more area of glass that requires regular cleaning and above a certain amount I think code requires fixed window washing systems. Then there would be bitching about this structure on the top of the lego that is only used once every few months.
