Architecture Article

Today's article reminded me of the article we wrote in class together about stem cell research. Both articles featured topics that require expert knowledge to explain. In addition, this article had the added difficulty of not being able to show a picture of the building and still needing to describe it in a way that was simple enough that people who weren't architecture majors would be able to understand.

"New Tower Takes Shape on Colombia Campus" read much like the article we wrote in class did, using quotes from experts involved to explain the material to the readers. The only main difference is that the first paragraph of "New Tower Takes Shape on Colombia Campus" does not answer the five w's and the h. Honestly, it has very little to do with the rest of the articles at all. Instead, it serves as a hook and provides a little bit of context to the rest of the article.
