The Campus and the City:A Design Revolution Explained
This contribution to design history considers a recent shift in the approach to the architecture and landscape of urban universities.Based on secondary literature and published campus master plans,the paper contrasts the mid-twentieth century concern for separation with a contemporary search for integration.Although it draws primarily on European and American examples,its topic is generic.The campus design revolution is explored and explained at three scales:first viz-à-viz the university's urban context,then its internal layout and landscape,and finally its buildings and their use.Each scale finds a design factor to the pursuit of knowledge.
