Synopsis

Organized as a series of walks through the distinct neighborhoods of Dartmouth College and parts of the surrounding town of Hanover, New Hampshire, Dartmouth College provides an intimate view of one of the most unique and picturesque Ivy League campuses. It contains a comprehensive illustration of today's campus and charts its historic evolution from a small school in the wilderness to the last college granted a royal charter before the Revolution. Comprised primarily of clean, classical, and simple buildings by turn-of-the-century architects like Jens Frederick Larson and Charles Alonzo Rich, Dartmouth's campus also boasts impressive modern buildings by Gwathmey Siegel; Robert A. M. Stern; KieranTimberlake Associates; and Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates.

Review:

"Some of America's finest architecture can be found around the grassy quads of college campuses, a heritage that Princeton Architectural Press is showcasting in a series called The Campus Guides. The books, which illustrate how academic goals were developed and expressed through campus design, include artful maps, photographs, archival drawings, and historical narratives written by architects or professors of architectural history."
