Un college no tant nou com diu / Not so "New" College

Foto presa amb una Rolleiflex 3.5F fabricada entre 1969 i 1971; Carl Zeiss Planar f3.5 / 75mm; Ilford Delta 100 revelat amb Perceptol 1+1. Mireu-les en mida gran!
El New College d'Oxford és, tot i el seu nom, un dels més antics d'aquella universitat. Fundat el 1379, fou el primer en construir-se de manera conjunta. Pertant, el seu "quad" o pati, tant caracteristic dels colleges, fou el primer disenyat amb la idea especifica d'institució universitaria, amb allotjament pels alumnes, gran menjador i capella. No cal dir que aquest model fou àmpliament copiat.

Picture taken with a Rolleiflex 3.5F, made c.1969-1971; Carl Zeiss Planar f3.5 / 75mm lens; Ilford Delta 100 developed in Perceptol 1+1. Looks much better in large size!
The New College in Oxford is, nonwithstanding its name, one of the oldests in that university. It was founded in 1379, and it's the first one with buildings specifically designed with the idea of a university college in mind. So it could be said that it's the master plan for every future college in Oxford or elsewere. Others are older, like Merton, but their buildings were grouped in a more chaotic way.
Here you have its old quad ("quadrangle"), with the chapel and hall.
