Introduction
the Roman architect Vitruvius wrote that architecture should provide
firmness, commodity, and delight. It is the definition of delight
that still troubles us today. This is especially so on college
campuses. Many who try to give voice to what it is that brings delight
in a building or an arrangement of buildings may mention the design,
the placement on the site, the choice of building materials, the
ornamentation, or the landscaping. But mostly its just a feeling, or
a sense that things are arranged just right, or a sensation of
pleasure that comes over us. So academics, like nearly everyone else,
often are unsure when planning for new campus construction about what
is likely to be delightful.
That each campus should be an academical village was one of Thomas
Jeffersons finest architectural insights. Higher learning is an
intensely personal
enterprise, with young scholars working closely with other scholars,
and students sharing and arguing about ideas, religious beliefs,
unusual
facts, and feelings. A human scale is imperative, a scale that
enhances
collegiality, friendships, collaborations on research.
Scale, not style, is the essential element in good campus design. Of
course, if an inviting, charming campus enclosure can be combined with
excellent, stylish buildings so much the better.
Aristotles idea of a good urban community as a place where people
live a common life for a noble end.
Aim: Propose a master plan for the future development of the campus
