Summary:
Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, felt that the founding and design of the University of Virginia in 1819 was his most lasting achievement. Jefferson's Academical Village centers on the Rotunda, the Lawn, and ten neoclassical Pavilions. Today, spanning 1,065 acres and the 80 buildings described in this guide, the campus features major architectural works by McKim, Mead & White, Michael Graves, Robert A.M. Stern, Hugh Stubbins, Hartman-Cox, and Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. Historians Richard Guy Wilson and Sara A. Butler take the reader on a tour of the University's heritage and recent works, from Jefferson's highly ordered nineteenth-century village to the suburban postmodern campus of the late twentieth century. Three-dimensional maps locate featured buildings on the campus and six sub-districts: The Lawn; Central Grounds; West Grounds; Health Sciences Center; Rugby Road and Carr's Hill; North Grounds; and Observatory Hill. Archival photographs and drawings recapture fragments of "lost" buildings and recall notable historic moments.

From gardening to cutting cake, from filling up the bird bath to mending a piece of clothing, from mowing the lawn to picking rhubarb, one gets to discover an everyday that might otherwise go unnoticed. In this book, which was generously edited and sequenced — 200 photographs in total — one is not only meant to see the moment shot in one photograph, but all the moments that compose the story. This project captures a visual history of the photographer family’s life, yet, there is an ongoing narrative embedded in these photographs that conveys larger, more universal truths about American culture, familiarity, and the endless source of everyday wonder that surrounds us.
