The picture above juxtaposes two buildings, one being Georgia State’s Honors College, while the other, a run-down, abandoned building. The two are found side by side. The Honors College is adorned with modernism, its sharp edges, its cleanliness, the use of glass for natural light; everything about the building exudes an air that befits contemporary society. The building right next to it, however, is the epitome of difference; everything the Honors College is, it is not. Covered in what appears to be kudzu and a variety of other vegetation, the building, both in sight and smell, reek of decay.
