While the building is attractive – thanks for the pictures! – ‘Cathedral of Education’ has more than a little Robespierrean ‘Cult of Reason’ flavor to it. Thus, ‘education’ comes to have less a ‘read classic books!’ and more a ‘we will guillotine you if you fail to comply’ vibe to it. The interior shots do not look so much like the beautiful Gothic-style libraries one sometimes sees in Europe, but much more the nave of a great church.

Beautiful building. Not sure I like it.
