Exit from King's College (to the right) and entrance to Clare College (centre), Cambridge. When thinking about 'college architecture' - if there is such a thing - one thing becomes clear here in Cambridge: it is often the architecture of monuments (or even cemeteries) and castles. Heavy stone usually is the building material and the buildings themselves are meant to last and to be there long after the death of those who constructed them. A tombstone here and there would not feel out of place. But then, there are the students and others on their bicycles and the strange impression of a necropolis is washing away. Fuji X-E2.

This Cambridge college was founded (and this part of the college built) in the 1880s. The style is Victorian Late Perpendicular Gothic Revival (though to my untrained eyes it looks an awful lot like Tudor revival), designed by the architect Sir Arthur Blomfield.

Most have stayed over the winter -- so lovely to see their bright reds against the snow -- but the next generation seems to be arriving now. . . we are rich in Cardinals!!
The little girl with her guitar looked so adorable. As we walked the same direction, I took few photos along the way.

I like the way the small tree added to the rather elegant architecture of the cloister in Magdalen College in Oxford
The Cloister or Great Quad was built in 1474–80 by William Orchard and has been altered several times down the centuries it has though never lost is medieval charm

From Wikipedia:
The original College was badly damaged in the Great Fire of London. In 1886 Sion College was moved to new buildings at 56 Victoria Embankment, between Carmelite Street and John Carpenter Street. It became principally known for its theological library which served as a lending library to members of the college, and was accessible to the public.
In 1996, the college disposed of its large Victorian premises on the banks of the River Thames. The building has been converted into offices. The library was closed June 1996, with the manuscripts, pamphlets, and pre-1850 printed books going to Lambeth Palace Library, and newer books to The Maughan Library, King's College London. Its activities now take place in a variety of locations.

About the statue:
Taxi! is the title of J. Seward Johnson Jr's unusual bronze statue, which freeze-frames a city worker, presumably homeward bound after a day at the office. Taxi! was in fact sculpted in 1983, originally standing on Park Avenue and 47th Street in New York.
Like many of Johnson's sculptures, this one was originally painted all over, making him eerily realistic — and likely spooking a number of New York cabbies. In fact, in his New York Times obituary, it's claimed that firefighters tried to 'rescue' another of Johnson's statues following the 9/11 attacks, believing it to be a real man.

The Chapel was built in the eighteenth century. Three people were responsible for its diffent stages and lengthy construction.which took from 1720-91, Dr George Clarke, Henry Keane and James Wyatt. It took this long due to shortage of funds.Between 1864 and 1866 the chapel was re-decorated by Wiliam Burges in a highly unusual and decorative way being prodominantly pink , the pew ends are decorated with carved animals of all kinds including Rhino's and Elephants. The stained glasswere to have been designed by John Everett Milais, but the designs were rejected by Burges and later given Henry Holiday.Oscar Wilde said of the Chapel, 'As a piece of simple decorative and beautiful art it is perfect, and the windows very artistic.

Lancing College Chapel is the chapel to Lancing College in West Sussex, England, and is an example of Gothic Revival architecture.The chapel was designed by R.H. Carpenter and William Slater. The foundation stone of the college chapel was laid in 1868 and, although building work stopped in 1977, the chapel remains unfinished. The chapel was dedicated to St Mary and St Nicolas in 1911 but the college had worshipped in the finished crypt from 1875. The chapel is built of Sussex sandstone from Scaynes Hill. It is a Grade I listed building.
Lancing College Chapel is one of the tallest interior vaulted churches in the United Kingdom. The apex of the vaulting rises to 90 ft (27.4m) above the floor. The original plans called for a tower at the north side and the foundations for it were laid but not used; the tower would have raised the height to well over 300 ft (90m). The chapel design is based on 13th Century English Gothic, with French influences. It follows a standard English Gothic plan, with a triforium and a very high clerestory. The French influences are noticeable not just in the massive clerestory, but also in the apse and the massive rose window on the west end. It is the largets school chapel in the world. (wik)
