My roommate is out of his gourd. He comes home late at night and sets the AC to some ridiculous temperature. I wake up at 6:30 with icicles forming on me and the frezzing cold wind coming out of the vent. I don't understand the obsession with wasting electricity just so you can keep your windows closed.
What's the temp? 65F?
I live in (semi) basement in uni which retains cool temps. The room has decent amount of granite as well. AC usually turned on for like half an hour at night (just before bed, around 19-20C/66-68F when I fell asleep), and the cool temp remains till waking hours (still 72-74). once I fell asleep and forgot to turn off the ac, and woke up in the middle of the night shivering. (Must be around or even below 65F)
What is your opinion of the Parliament House in Helsinki? It's Nationalist Classical architecture, but sometimes blamed as Fascist architecture, or even "not even Hitler could've visioned something like this". What say you?
Yes, I'd say it's ok at most, but bulky and a bit boring. Quite indimidating when standing at the front doors. Should democracy be intimidating? I think not.
I like the first Finnish building but it's not really elegant. What do you think of the Massachusetts legislative building?
