Description and Table of Contents
Description
The revised edition will discuss 15 new additions to the campus, including the Frances Arrillaga Alumni Center by Hoover Associates/The SWA Group, the James H. Clark Center for Bio Sciences & Bio Engineering by Foster and Partners / Peter Walker and Partners, and the Carnegie institution by Esherik Homsey Dodge and Davis. It will also re-present over 130 campus buildings, highlighting works by Frank Lloyd Wright, Arthur Erickson, William Turnbull, James Ingo Freed, Sir Norman Foster, and Polshek and Partners. The original 1891 campus conceived by Frederick Law Olmsted and executed by architects Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, balances architecture, landscapes, and the natural surroundings in a composition of classic formal beauty. Stanford is a model of university design, from the nineteenth-century Memorial Court and Main Quad to twentieth-century buildings and restorations that respect the historic campus while contributing to modern design.
