Using collegiate and corporate campuses as case studies, this seminar examines the intersections of architecture, urban planning, landscape design, and institutionalism in private and public contexts in the modern period. We will consider the ways architects and clients used campuses to define institutional character, often in response to political and social concerns that extended far beyond the campus edge. While the course will emphasize examples in the Americas, case studies from outside the region will be included, and special attention will be devoted to the Wellesley campus.
