Eeya! Obviously you dont have an engineering background. If only you know the quality of engineering that is involved in constructing those amazing structures. You would apologize without hessitation for that statement.

Collapse for where? That is the design of that building. That is my usual reading point when I was in OAU as a medical student

You must be a bloody Jambite to be snapping and posting this pictures.

SO what if the buildings are slanting. If you had posted the bat infested trees behind the building, you would be posting something more interesting. Do you know how many of us have passed through that schol already?

I wonder what your GP will be

Now i understand where u r talking from. These buildings are not collapsing . These are d original designs.these structures were designed like these , built like these and remained like these . With ages ranging btw 44 - 54 yrs old.

Obafemi awolowo university has really beautiful structures! There's a building u guys call spider. The architects behind the construction of that building really did a fantastic job.

Actually, the Israelis who built OAU according to records had combined majors. A double degree in Structural Engineering and Architecture so you're not completely wrong.
However, one should know that the integrity of any architectural design is largely dependent on the genius of the Structural Engineer who comes up with a structural design that not only preserve the aesthetics of the architect's design, but also takes care of any forceable fractures and failures that may result from the adventurous expression of the architect.
This is because not all architectural design are structurally feasible, however with the help of technology professionals are pushing boundaries forth and setting new limits.

OAU structures are classical and will endure for a time to come, Architects do NOT construct, Engineers do...

Architects or structural engineers, whichever body built it did a nice job, that's all that matters! No need for all these detailed explanations.
