Review: "Joseph Rykwert proposed that every historical epoch could be classified according to a predominant building archetype. To the ancient Greeks this archetype was the temple, to Imperial Rome the baths, to the Middle Ages, the cathedral, and so on. To our age he concluded that current archetype was the university." "The nature of universities has undergone a transformation over recent years. Increased student numbers and changing patterns of teaching and learning have presented architects with many new commissions, often involving unique design challenges. From large-scale master-planning strategies through to the design of new building types accomodating rapidly changing technologies, universities today provide a laboratory for new architectural ideas." "This publication explores a diverse collection of new university buildings. Ranging from the design of vast new campuses, such as that by Wilford and Stirling at Temasek, Singapore, through to the relatively modest yet strategically important, such as the intervention by Allies and Morrison at Southampton, University Builders incorporates the exciting new higher educational buildings which are at the forefront of architecture today."--BOOK JACKET.
