From colonial times to the present, the American campus has been a unique type of physical environment, and has reflected the nation's changing educational goals and social ideals, as interpreted by many of the most distinguished American planners and architects. Turner examines this dynamic and uniquely American tradition, revealing the educational forces and planning concerns that have shaped these colleges and universities. The volume is organized chronologically, examining selected campuses within each period and offering new interpretations of their architectural significance. Among the architects and planners whose work is examined are Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Henry Latrobe, Alexander Jackson Davis and Frederick Law Olmstead. ISBN 0-262-20047-3 : $35.00.
