“The wonder of seeing South Hall rise is also to observe the extraordinary magic which with which the building’s modern heart was concealed. To stand in side the lobby today, looking at the giant piers what seem to support the dome overhead, hiding the steel that does the real work, is to experience a kind of trompe l’oeil that architecture of the late twentieth century rarely attempts.”
