SUMMARY:Book Talk: Georgetown University: An Architectural History
DESCRIPTION:Spanning the university’s genesis in 1789 through to today\, the new book\, Georgetown University: An Architectural History\, provides the reader with a close look at over fifty campus buildings. \nThis book presentation will explore the Georgetown University campus over time with highlights of its historical and modern architecture\, from the Old North building (1795) to its twenty-first-century development. With modern photographs as well as historical images drawn from the university archives\, we will discuss the background of Georgetown’s buildings. The talk will highlight multiple periods in the university’s history including its entanglement with slavery\, the presidencies of Patrick Healy\, SJ and W. Coleman Nevils\, SJ as well as its mid-twentieth century and later university leadership. \nThe Georgetown campus includes architecture by leading historical and contemporary designers such as John Smithmeyer and Paul Pelz\, Emile Perrot\, John Carl Warnecke\, Hugh Hardy\, Hugh Newell Jacobsen\, and Robert A.M. Stern Architects. The buildings exemplify a host of architectural styles including Federal\, Romanesque and Gothic Revival\, International Style\, Brutalist and Postmodern. Changes in the university landscape and connections to broader trends in American campus development will be highlighted. Lastly\, we will also discuss the book’s curriculum connected development. \nYou can buy the book here or on Amazon. \nThis book talk is free to attend! \nREGISTER HERE\n \nStephanie Rufino is an architectural and art historian and has published on the decoration and architecture of both the Washington National Cathedral and historic American banks from the 1920s.
