Harvard

Here is an incisive and fully illustrated history of Harvards architecture told by the distinguished architectural historian Bainbridge Bunting, author of Houses of Bostons Back Bay. The book examines the Federal architecture of Charles Bulfinch, H. H. Richardsons Romanesque buildings, the Imperial manner reflected in Widener Library, as well as the work of such esteemed architects as Charles McKim, Gropius, and Le Corbusierand it shows us how they all come together to form an amazingly coherent whole. This lively story of a university campus is a veritable microcosm of American architectural experience.
