Foameo Void

Though Ryerson has made great strides in prettifying its campus over the last few years, it's both an irony and an embarrassment that the university's architecture program is housed in the ugliest, most non-descript building on campus. Inside, students use foam and wire to create project models, but the same materials were recently pointed outward to create this appealing, wavelike art piece within two window frames along Church Street.

Who woulda thunk that something so simple and cheap as a roll of chicken wire and about 3,300 polystyrene cups could so improve the façade of such a bleak monstrosity? Now, if only someone would cover up the rest of it.
