Description
The first edition of Duke University: The Campus Guide, published in 2000, showcased Duke's heritage since its founding in 1924 and the masterful design by Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer for the "university in the forest." Also in 2000 Duke commenced an unprecedented magnitude of new buildings with seventy projects that encompass seven million square feet. Now, artfully featured in Duke University: The Campus Guide Second edition, we witness the transformation of the Collegiate Gothic West Campus and Neo-Georgian East Campus to a versatile twenty-first-century architectural community. The second edition of the Duke Campus Guide encourages the visitor to look around and enjoy these dynamic changes in breathtaking photographs by Duke Photography and engaging introduction by design critic Alexandra Lange and texts by architect and writer Ken Friedlein and Duke University Architect John Pearce.
