Description:... The newest titles in the Princeton Architectural Press Campus Guide series take readers on an insider's tour of Harvard University and the University of Cincinnati. Beautifully photographed in full color, the guides present architectural walks of two American campuses distinguished by landmark buildings-Harvard revealing stories of ivy-clad historic buildings and Cincinnati showcasing its major contemporary works of art, architecture, and landscape. One of the most prestigious universities in the world, Harvard is steeped in tradition and famous for its unique American Colonial campus which dates back to 1636.
