Forbes asked a panel of architects and campus designers to nominate their picks for the best-looking campuses in the world. These are their top choices.
《福布斯》杂志曾邀请一组建筑师和校园想象师评比出世界上最幸福的大学校园。以下这些国内外大学便是他们的心水之选。
Kenyon College
凯尼恩学院
Gambier, Ohio, US
位于美国俄亥俄州甘比尔
Mike Evans, a principal at Norfolk, Va., 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, it’s 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.”
弗吉尼亚州诺福克Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas +建筑想象事务所主管迈克埃文斯表示，一所幸福的校园必须具备一个“标志性校园场地来作为校园品牌的载体”，这才能担得起“最美校园”的名头。在凯尼恩学院，这个地方便是一条十英尺宽、名为“中间道路”的人行道，它是这所坐落于山顶的哥特式校园的主干道。这不仅仅是一条小路，在人际关系密切的校园里，它还是一处田园绿地。在凯尼恩学院讲授17世纪诗歌的谢尔盖洛巴诺夫-罗斯托夫斯基表示，这所与世隔绝的田园式学院，可谓是“琢磨大想法的小地方”。
