Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The newest titles in the "Princeton Architectural Press Campus Guide" series take readers on an insider's tour of Harvard University and the University of Cincinnati. Beautifully photographed in full color, the guides present architectural walks of two American campuses distinguished by landmark buildings-Harvard revealing stories of ivy-clad historic buildings and Cincinnati showcasing its major contemporary works of art, architecture, and landscape. One of the most prestigious universities in the world, Harvard is steeped in tradition and famous for its unique American Colonial campus which dates back to 1636. It features pre-Revolutionary, colonial, and classical buildings as well as more recent designs by Jose Luis Sert, LeCorbusier, and Walter Gropius.

Synopsis:

The unique settings and circumstances of American college campuses have given rise to some of the richest and most innovative examples of architecture and planning in the United States. These campuses are sites of many of the country's finest building programs, and showcase the best work of successive generations of architects.

The Campus Guides are beautifully illustrated books on the design and history of American campuses. Each book profiles over 75 major buildings and gardens on the campus and its surrounding community, and also provides visitor information. The guides feature color photographs, archival images, and drawings. Hand-colored maps illustrate significant landmarks.
