Book excerpt: The unique settings and circumstances of American college campuses have given rise to some of the richest and most innovative examples of architecture and planning in the United States. These campuses are sites of many of the country's finest building programs, and showcase the best work of successive generations of architects. The Campus Guides are beautifully illustrated books on the design and history of American campuses. Each book profiles over 75 major buildings and gardens on the campus and its surrounding community, and also provides visitor information. The guides feature color photographs, archival images, and drawings. Hand-colored maps illustrate significant landmarks.
