When old GM comes up I think of how awesome it is that I'm learning transportation design in the birth place of car design. GM Argonaut / CCS Taubman building.

I thought it was a naked lady in a funky bathtub on my phone at first glance.

Car design came from the confluence of Detroit manufacturing and Hollywood imagination. It's complicated.
(CCS taking over New Center=potentially awesome, long-term. I need to get back to Detroit and see what's changed)

Yea my statement was a little BS-y. How about one of the first places it was practiced?
Also you're funny - "I need to get back to Detroit and see what's changed". Out of context I'm sure no one would know what you're talking about. But you are probably referring to a time before the Taubman center.

Yeah, I don't even know what the Taubman Center is. I'm sure it's a very different place than it was 15-10 years ago, in every way.
In my day, people still talked about the Society for Arts and Crafts, and referred to the Yamaguchi building as if it were new.

Ha well I've heard (from seniors when I was freshman) that the separation of the 2 campus's and the design/fine arts students stifled some creativity. But the facilities and knowledge still seems on point to me.
I'd walk through if you ever get back to town, I think the amount of space we have would surprise you.
Kind of on topic video about the building if you care
