Gothic Revival: University Colleges

A group of college buildings forming a quadrangle. Three to four-story stone volumes, continuous pointed arch windows and buttresses, corner towers, and an entrance through a pointed arch gateway leading to the courtyard. The courtyard has a lawn and gravel paths. The roofs have dormer windows and clusters of chimneys. Avoid: making the buildings freestanding and not enclosing, using modern strip windows, removing the courtyard and replacing it with a plaza, allowing too much height difference between the volumes, losing a sense of unity.

一組圍成方庭的學院建築。三到四層的石造量體,連續的尖拱窗與扶壁,轉角有塔樓,入口是一道尖拱門洞通往中庭。中庭是草坪與碎石步道。屋頂有老虎窗與煙囪群。避免:把建築做成獨棟不圍合、使用現代的帶狀窗、拿掉中庭改成廣場、讓量體的高度差距過大失去統一感。
