全球最美大學校園

Oxford University

牛津大學

Oxford， England

位于英國牛津市

Teaching within Oxfords stone walls dates as far back as the 11th century， and the school is considered a paradigm for all college campuses. With its labyrinth of quads， cloisters， and archways， it evokes elegance and tradition at every turn. “Its monastic roots and the spectacular quality of its buildings make it an architectural wonderland，” says David Mayernik， associate professor at Notre Dames School of Architecture.

牛津大學的校史可追溯至11世紀，該校被公認為是所有大學校園的典范。四方院、回廊和拱門遍布校園，宛如一座迷宮，處處散發著典雅迷人的傳統氣息。“修道院的淵源和氣勢恢弘的建筑讓牛津大學成為一個建筑圣地。”美國圣母大學建筑學院副教授大衛·邁耶尼克如此評價道。

Kenyon College

凱尼恩學院

Gambier， Ohio， US

位于美國俄亥俄州甘比爾

Mike Evans， a principal at Norfolk， Virginia， design firm Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas Company， says to be beautiful a campus must have a “signature campus space as a carrier of the campus brand”. At Kenyon College， that space is “Middle Path”， a 10-foot-wide footpath that serves as the Gothic hilltop campus central artery. More than just a trail， its a village green for the tight-knit campus community. Sergei Lobanov-Rostovsky， who teaches 17th-century poetry at Kenyon， says the college， both isolated and pastoral， is “a small place to think big thoughts.”

弗吉尼亞州諾福克Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas建筑設計公司主管邁克·埃文斯表示，一所美麗的校園必須具備一個“標志性校園場地來作為校園品牌的載體”。在凱尼恩學院，這個地方便是一條十英尺寬、名為“中道”的人行道，它是這所坐落于山頂的哥特式校園的主干道。這不僅僅是一條小徑，在這所人際關系緊密的校園里，它還是一處田園綠地。在凱尼恩學院講授17世紀詩歌的謝爾蓋·洛巴諾夫-羅斯托夫斯基表示，這所與世隔絕的田園式學院，可謂是“琢磨大想法的小地方”。
