New BookCampus Heritage: An Appreciation of the History and Traditions of College and University Architecture[MORE] |
Campus Heritage, by SCUPer Richard P. Dober is subtitled, "An Appreciation of the History and Traditions of College and University Architecture." But that doesn't mean that Dober's definition of campus heritage is limited to buildings. While this book is filled with large, four-color photos of campus buildings, Dober also includes significant landscapes (walkways, gardens, trees, benches, sun dials and clock towers), campus art (sculptures, gates, and fountains), institutional emblems and logos, memorials and monuments. There is even a discussion on "place naming" and a list of criteria for naming.
Dober, a senior consultant for Dober, Lidsky, Craig and Associates, Inc., a firm specializing in campus and facility planning, has provided advice and guidance to more than 400 educational, scientific, and cultural institutions and organizations worldwide.
Dober also is the author of two other popular SCUP books (considered by many to be standard reference books on these topics): "Campus Planning," which covers the fundamentals of campus planning and contains hundreds of photographs and drawings, and "Campus Design," which shows how a campus is defined through its physical image, particularly buildings and landscapes, and contains numerous case studies.
