全球最美麗的大學校園 清華位列其中 (下篇 )
United States Air Force Academy
Colorado Springs, Colo.
Kevin Lippert, publisher of the Princeton Architectural Press, known for its Campus Guide series, picked this campus because it is "a masterpiece of mid-20th-century American Modernism, rather than something in the traditional Collegiate Gothic or Oxford style." He adds: "Many of the buildings are clad in aluminum, suggesting the skin of airplanes, and the Cadet's Chapel there is often called one of the most beautiful buildings in America, collegiate or otherwise." The multidenominational chapel, pictured, was designed so that different religious services can be held simultaneously without interference.

美國空軍學院
位於科羅拉多州斯普林斯
普林斯頓建築出版社的出版商凱文·利珀特（Kevin Lippert）選擇了美國空軍學院，這個出版社可是以發佈大學指南系列而聞名於世。選擇這所學校的理由很簡單，因爲它是“20世紀中期美國現代主義的經典作品，與傳統的學院哥特式或牛津風格毫無關聯。”他還補充說道：“很多建築的外表都覆蓋了一層鋁合金材質，讓人不禁聯想到飛機，尤其是它的地標性建築，軍校生禮拜堂(Cadet Chapel)，無論是從學院派，抑或是其它建築風格考量，都可謂是全美國最美麗的建築之一。”此外，這座多宗派教堂（如圖所示）的設計宗旨，是爲了讓不同的教派活動得以在互不干擾的情況下同時進行。
University of Bologna
Bologna, Italy
Arguably the oldest university in the Western world, the University of Bologna's actual "campus" is the city of Bologna itself, says David Meyerick, who teaches at Notre Dame's School of Architecture, and is currently designing a campus in Switzerland. "What the university lacks in personal identity, it makes up for in being inextricably tied to its environment," says Meyerick. Many European universities tend to be "embedded" in their home/host cities, which can be "a great advantage when the environment is an important, beautiful city whose origins date back well before the Roman Empire."
博洛尼亞大學
位於意大利，博洛尼亞
勿庸質疑，這可是西方世界裏最古老的大學。實際上，博洛尼亞大學的校園就是博洛尼亞市本身。任教於美國聖母大學(Notre Dame)建築學院的David Meyerick教授，目前正在瑞士參與一所大學的設計工作，他在談到博洛尼亞大學時表示：“就個性化而言，這個學校略微有點兒面目模糊，不過，它與外部環境的密不可分彌補了這方面的缺憾。”歐洲的許多大學都是如此，與它們所在的城市水乳交融。“所以，周遭環境是一座舉足輕重，美麗異常的城市（其根源甚至可追溯到羅馬帝國之前），這也算是一個很大的優勢。”
University of California, Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz, Calif.
Housed on a former ranch perched above the Pacific, the UCSC campus offers open meadows, redwood forests and panoramic ocean views. Architect Natalie Shivers says the California campus' buildings and "circulation networks" for both cars and pedestrians "are carefully designed and tucked into the natural landscape" to preserve both the environment and the vistas. It's no wonder students like to study outdoors and that the campus has created 100 points of wireless access throughout the grounds.
加州大學聖克魯茲分校
位於美國加州，聖克魯茲
這所學校的前身是一座美麗的牧場，面朝太平洋。UCSC校園擁有無數開放式草地，紅樹林和360度無敵海景。建築設計師Natalie Shivers表示，爲了保護環境和自然景觀，校園內的建築以及服務於行人車輛的交通網絡，都經過精心設計，與自然景觀完美地融合。也難怪這裏的學生都愛上了戶外學習，校方甚至在校園的各個角落安裝了100個無線網絡連接入口。
University of Cincinnati
Cincinnati, Ohio
Architecture students at UC (established in 1870) need only step outside the classroom to observe some of the more cunning modern architecture of their day. Kevin Lippert, publisher of the Princeton Architectural Press, says the school has positioned itself for the 21st century with a wholly renovated campus. Its master plan showcases major architectural works by Michael Graves, Peter Eisenman and Frank Gehry, among others.
辛辛那提大學
位於美國俄亥俄州，辛辛那提
辛辛那提大學創建於1870年，該校建築系學生只需步出課堂，便可觀察到當今時代最爲巧奪天工的現代建築，普林斯頓建築出版社的出版商Kevin Lippert表示，這所學校經過全面翻修，將自己定位成21世紀的新式校園，如今它已面目一新。其總體規劃很好地展示了Michael Graves, Peter Eisenman和Frank Gehry等建築大師的輝煌作品。
University of Virginia
Charlottesville, Va.
Thomas Jefferson said his proudest achievement was creating this campus in 1819. Jefferson believed that real learning could only happen in an academical village" setting, and toward that end, he designed the campus around an posing rotunda with a great lawn at its feet and 10 neo-classical pavilions (classrooms) lining the green. Professors' quarters were directly above the classrooms, so that discussions--and learning--could happen organically and freely. The Lawn is considered one of the great architectural achievements of the 19th century, symbolizing the harmony between professor and student and university and landscape. Today the university also features major architectural works by McKim, Mead & White, Michael Graves and Billie Tsien.
弗吉尼亞大學
位於美國弗吉尼亞州，夏洛茨維爾
托馬斯傑斐遜曾說過，他最爲自豪的成就便是在1819年創建了這所學校。傑斐遜認爲，真正的學習只可能在“學術村”氛圍中發生。以這個前提爲主旨，他完成了整個設計。校園中央是氣勢恢宏的圓頂大禮堂，禮堂腳下是一片開闊的草坪，兩側還有10個新古典主義風格的帳篷式的建築（作爲教室)。教授們的宿舍就建在這些教室上方，使得師生間的探討交流更加隨意身形。草坪這一帶的建築也成爲19世紀的經典之作，象徵着師生之間，以及學校與景物之間的融洽關係。而現在，我們也可在校園內觀賞到現代建築大師，如McKim, Mead & White, Michael Graves 以及華裔建築師錢以佳（Billie Tsien）的傳世之作。
Wellesley College
Wellesley, Mass.
Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., this serene liberal arts college for women, on the edge of Lake Waban near Boston, is considered the crowning jewel of the prestigious "Seven Sisters" campuses. Architect Natalie Shivers says both "the historic and contemporary have always been beautifully integrated with the natural topography." And a recent master plan only reaffirms "the key role the natural landscape plays in the character of the campus." To wit: Paramecium Pond, (pictured) edging a rich, botanical garden through which travels a stream fed by nearby waterfall.
衛爾斯利女子學院
位於美國馬薩諸塞州，衛爾斯利
由奧姆斯特德（Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.)設計的這所女子學院，袖珍而寧靜，坐落於波士頓近郊的慰冰湖(Lake Waban)畔，它還被認爲是久負盛名之“七姐妹”校園中，那顆最爲璀璨的明珠。建築師Natalie Shivers表示：“不管是古老建築，還是當代建築，都巧妙地與自然地形相融，美不勝收。”學院最新的總體規劃再次重申了“在塑造大學的特性方面，自然景觀發揮着舉足輕重的作用”。比如說，草履蟲池（如圖所示）通過蜿蜒的小溪與一個物種豐富的植物園緊緊相連，小溪的水流量則源自附近的瀑布。
Yale University
New Haven, Conn.
From a purely architectural standpoint, "Yale University has more show-stoppers than all the campuses on the list," says architect Shivers, even if the mix is less cohesive than others in the League, like Princeton and Harvard. Some of these more iconic buildings include Ingalls Rink by Eero Saarinen, the Art and Architecture Building by Paul Rudolph, and Louis Kahn's Art Gallery and British Art Center. Many other Gothic and Colonial Revival structures have delightful quirks and surprises.
Landscaped spaces--quadrangles, courtyards between buildings, plazas--abound, offering lots of "getaways" for a decidedly urban campus.
耶魯大學
位於美國康涅狄格州，紐黑文市
純粹從建築學角度來考量，“耶魯大學與這份名單上的其它全部學校相比，都擁有更多值得駐足觀看的地方，”建造師Shivers這樣說道，儘管耶魯校園的整體性較其他常春藤聯校還是要略遜一籌，比如普林斯頓大學和哈佛大學。它的標誌性建築包括Eero Saarinen設計的英格斯溜冰場(Ingalls Rink)，Paul Rudolph設計的藝術與建築大樓，以及Louis Kahn設計的藝術畫廊和英國藝術中心。此外，林林總總哥特式和殖民復興風格（Colonial Revival）的建築都帶有一種頗爲討喜的怪誕感，令人嘖嘖稱奇。所有地面景緻，包括分佈在各個角落的四合院、樓與樓之間的庭院，和廣場，爲這座城市校園提供了頗多“逍遙遊”場所。
