English: Ketter Hall, as seen from Grace Plaza on the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, Amherst, New York, August 2020. Along with the adjacent Bell, Furnas, and Jarvis Halls, Ketter Hall is an example of the architectural work done on the UB campus by architect Marcel Breuer in collaboration with the local firm of CannonDesign, some of the last designs completed before the former's death. By reputation, Breuer often took a "softer" approach to Brutalism - his designs frequently employed curvilinear forms that hearkened back to his Bauhaus roots and sported graceful, almost soaring appearances starkly different from the bulky ponderousness more commonly associated with the style - but Ketter Hall is all things considered a pretty conventional expression of the style, with a motif of dark brick windowless surfaces contrasting with rough-textured pre-cast concrete ones elsewhere, the latter punctured with an almost mechanically repetitive fenestration pattern where horizontal rows of windows stepped back diagonally into the façade are interspersed with narrower bands of geometric ornamentation.
