I’m continuing my celebration of architecture that has long inspired me. Still, this week the focus is entirely on one locale: Yale University, where I spent some happy years, and which contains an extraordinary concentration of architectural masterpieces, representing a wide stylistic range. Each day, in addition to sharing an example of the collegiate gothic or traditional architecture for which the university is famous, I’m also celebrating an example of the experimental projects that also impress. I’m curious to see whether you agree! First, you can’t think of Yale without picturing the unmistakable Harkness Tower, designed by James Gamble Rogers, who helped define the collegiate gothic style that characterizes the campus. I have always loved this soaring monument to higher learning.
