State University
of New York at Albany - Edward Durrell Stone's architecture and the Pakistan look-alike
Look-alike competition winner
Very important these days - please don't mistake it for the
Pakistan
Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (another Stone design),
which
is located near Islamabad.
You may use the reactor dome in the middle as the best way of telling
them apart - the University at Albany does NOT have one of these! Then
it is true that there are the four dormitory towers at Albany, not seen
in Pakistan, but otherwise you could get equally lost among the
identical
buildings and forest of concrete columns at either place, were it not
for
the little matter of getting past the armed security around the campus
in Pakistan.....
but you can now look from above, thanks to Google Earth - if you have
that installed, click here for a .kmz file for
PakINSET,
and here for .kmz file for SUNY Albany
