This is very fascinating because I (like many other Baruch students and people in general) walk past this building many times in a week without realizing that it has meaning. Before seeing and researching this topic that door to me was just fancy metal work but now I know there’s a little more to it than just that. The exact and symmetric juxtapositions have meaning and convey a message. I found the following website very helpful in understanding the subject. The below link can provide some more information on the topic: http://www.math.okstate.edu/geoset/Projects/Borders/howclass.htm
