Description: "The Campus Guide: Harvard University offers an insider's view of America's oldest college and a guided tour of the campus and its landmark buildings, from nineteenth-century works by Charles Bulfinch and Henry Hobson Richardson, to twentieth-century designs by McKim, Mead & White, Walter Gropius, Jose Luis Sert, and Le Corbusier, to twenty-first-century designs by James Stirling and Renzo Piano.". "The Harvard University Campus Guide is fascinating to read and an easy-to-use companion for a walking tour. It features over one hundred thirty buildings and spans four hundred years. With a foreword by Harvard's twenty-sixth president, Neil L. Rudenstine, and striking photographs by Richard Cheek, this is the definitive guide to the history and architecture of the oldest and foremost institution of higher learning in the United State."--BOOK JACKET.
