...sketches speak for themselves. The relatively featureless glass and steel polygons certainly were not hideous—but they were not Harvard either. Rather than being different for difference’s sake, as are the Holyoke and Science Centers, it appears the new Allston will be new for new??s sake—modern and nondescript, saying “suburban industrial park” moreso than “the Harvard of the future.” Harvard is trying to weave a narrative for its shining new campus: it wants to tell the world that...

Hamri has simply combined bits and pieces of other romantic comedies, implanted different actors, and ironically, presented it as “Something...
