The surroundings of the St. John’s university at Manhattan

The surroundings of the St.  John’s university at Manhattan
It was an amazing experience to discover all these new places that were so close to us. For example I didn’t knew that the building that we have backdoors has a great, red colored sculpture of rabbit, or even that the K mart building next to the campus was designed by one of the most influent architects of the time Frank Gehry.
One of the funniest and more interesting things that I saw was the Facebook building. The fact that they wanted to prevail incognitos was funy for me. Another fact that I especially liked was   that not more than 200 steps we had a brand new building which was a completely free university for architects and engineers.

Knowing the surrounding area was a great activity that showed me that you can find a new and interesting place in front, and you weren’t aware of.

  1. Carlos,

    Clarification: The Wanamaker Building was not designed by Frank Gehry; Frank Gehry only designed Facebook's NYC offices which are in the building.

  2. I loved the picture, especially the effect that the light at the right side gives to the whole landscape...
