makielski--palladio


some palladian architecture by stanislaw makielski, has been in the spot light because of an essay by sabrina rubin-erdely on greek-lettered fraternities the magazine rollingstone published.

all of the attention has been given to a dormitory he designed for the phi kappa psi. a two storied building with dormer windows on the roof to either side of a central temple pediment supported on four columns.

the temple face of the building has five bays, the two end bays project further than the centre three, framing them and their sitting porch under the pediment which is supported on the columns screening the porch.
