CAMPUS GUIDE: STANFORD UNIVERSITY by JONCAS, RICHARD (Paperback - 2006) ISBN: 9781568985381 Subject: ART, ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY Publisher: PRINCETON ARCHITECTUAL PRESS US Leland and Jane Stanford built Stanford University as a memorial to their son, Leland Stanford, Jr. 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 nineteeth-century Memorial Court and Main Quad to twenty-first-century buildings and restorations that respect the historic campus while contributing to modern design. |
