Description

Yale College, founded in 1701, is one of The us’s most revered historic campuses. Three centuries of Yale architecture cover a dynamic history of design, education, and national leadership. The conservative Yale of early colonial and Gothic buildings evolved to transform a mecca for up to date architects in the 1950s and the website of such notable works as Louis I. Kahn’s Art Gallery and Yale Center for British Art, Paul Rudolph’s Yale Art + Architecture Building, and Eero Saarinen’s Ingalls Rink. Writer and photographer Patrick L. Pinnell beautifully captures Yale’s and New Haven’s architecture and urbanism across 300 years. The guide also reveals much about the academic aspirations and educational philosophy that contributed to shaping the buildings of Yale. The visitor can be guided on an insider’s tour of the campus, and alumni will delight in new insights about their alma mater.

This beautifully photographed guide reveals the stories in the back of more than 85 buildings, historic gardens, art galleries, theaters, athletic facilities, and works of sculpture at the Yale University campus.

qExquisitely painted three-dimensional maps locate featured buildings at the campus and eight sub-districts-Old Campus; Arts Area; Memorial Quadrangle; Cross Campus and North Green; Law School, Graduate School, and Saarinen Colleges; Beinecke Library to Timothy Dwight College; Hillhouse Avenue and Lower Prospect Streets; Science Hill and Divinity School; Oak Street and Medical Campus; and Yale Bowl and the Athletic Fields. Archival photographs and drawings recapture fragments of “lost” buildings and recall notable historic moments.

In all, this guide is for somebody familiar (or who wants to be) with the treasures of the Yale campus, whether student, alum, prospective student, or architecture buff.
