Baker House Dormitory (Alvar Aalto; Perry, Shaw & Hepburn, 1946-1949). An excellent and early (for the US) example of the brick-modernist vocabulary turned to something subtler, suppler and more variegated than the great majority of its applications. Fans of the Aalto office will note such signature touches as the copious use of warmly-colored wood on the interior, the selection of bricks of varying depth and texture, the slight enlargement of hallways to form common areas, and a general avoidance of rectilinear bunker form. The last of these, in this case, is accomplished by bending the whole plan into a gentle snake's curve, embracing without completely capturing outdoor space and granting residents a variety of views.

Student houses near Queen's University in Kingston Ontario.
Taken on 35mm colour film with Mamiya camera in May 1995.
When the spring rains come, Dunedin turns mild and wet. I think it brings out the Scottish character very dramatically, and it's a good time to start photographing city scapes because of the added gloss everywhere. These images were taken in the student areas around the Polytechnic and university. I hope you appreciate that I got really, really drenched snapping these images. Haptchoo.
The Boat house used to be well away from the main complex but now finds itself attached to the tail of Hodder's scheme. Its appearance directly relates to the Master's Lodge. I am pretty certain that the colour of metal panels is not Jacobson's choice.
Jacobsen's stairs to the upper floor of Boat House are now part of the service area and few feet away from here you see.....

There's a new dormitory being built at the University of Houston for freshman residents. It will be situated between the Quadrangle and Moody Towers along Wheeler Street in the University of Houston Campus Undergraduate District.
This was also known around campus as "Freshman Village" and "Wheeler Housing East" until recently, when it was officially named "Cougar Village".
Architects: Denys Lasdun. The heavy brickwork detail over windows is to emphasize the contrast of concrete/glass 'crown' above the dining area.

Philip Dowson started to explore the layering of concrete structure and the building fabrics very early on in his work with Ove Arup. He continued to improve and refine this mode of design, introducing prefabrication and variety of materials to suit different locations. Particular attention was paid to the weathering of the facades. The results can now be seen in some wonderful University buildings, looking fresh and clean as ever.

Chapel in front, Library on right next to the entrance Tower.
The tan-white-and-brown is an attractive combination for this.
Who or what has caused these unsightly defacements to the white siding!
The latticework on the front porch is really beautiful.
I imagine the tenants are happy that each unit gets its own sidewalk.

Andrews Hall on the campus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois on Friday, June 3, 2011. (Jay Grabiec)
The following abstract is from Jim Stirling paper given at RIBA on 23 February 1965, which I had pleasure of attending. The series of lectures under ‘An architect’s approach to architecture’ were very popular and well attended.
“The project for extending Selwyn College was an important move in the direction of our present designs. The proposed new building also acted as a wall, maintaining the privacy of a fine garden for the members of the college, like the courts of Cambridge Colleges. The planning of the first stage building was very directional and all rooms focussed with a view across the garden and the existing college. The glass screen was really an enormous window faceting in and out approximately indicating on the exterior the scale of the students’ rooms and sets; and college members walking in the grounds would have seen reflected in the glass a shattered cubist image of the trees in the garden. The circulation and service rooms were external to the building and these became a series of towers retaining the back wall and marking the entrances. Unfortunately, this project divided the college fifty fifty and as C.P. Snow readers will know, it is necessary to have almost 100 percent voting approval before getting action on a major decision.”
This scheme must have been an important step for Stirling as it seems to contain the germs of most of the ideas later reappeared in the famous ‘three red buildings’.
The variations on this approach are also clearly visible in ABK’s
