Stanford was founded by a railroad magnate, U.S. Senator, former Governor of California Leland Stanford, and his wife, Jane Stanford.
From an architectural point of view, the Stanfords wanted their university to look different and sought to emulate the style of English university buildings. They specified in the founding grant that the buildings should "be like the old adobe houses of the early Spanish days; they will be one-storied; they will have deep window seats and open fireplaces, and the roofs will be covered with the familiar dark red tiles." Stanford University’s original campus opened in 1891, was designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, best known for co-designing New York City's Central Park. Olmsted's design for Stanford featured a grand, open quadrangle surrounded by low-rise buildings in a Mission Revival style, which became a defining architectural feature of the campus. The main buildings were designed by Charles Allerton Coolidge of the Boston architectural firm Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge, under Olmsted’s guidance.
Busy working away building my Architectural and Residential Interiors/Exteriors portfolio to extend the professional work I am getting at the present.
Up to this point I have always had focus but not a direction, shooting with both certainly gives a different perspective to the point you feel like you are all of a sudden entering uncharted waters BUT I am very happy with how easily I have adapted my skills and style to the task.
Other new additions to my Architectural Interiors below:
Continuing our tour of the Bodleian. I recognised this room, Convocation House, as soon as I entered it. For some time parliament met here, during the Civil War (1642-9) when Oxford was used by the Royalists as an alternative to Westminster. Oxford did indeed become the King's capital and residence after he was forced to withdraw from London in Nov 1642. I think I recognised it from woodcut illustrations of the time which I studied as part of my degree, studying the Civil War for a whole year under the quite brilliant and eccentric Prof Ronald Hutton.
The University has used this room for 300 years as a meeting place for Convocation and Congregation and it continues to be used today for conferring degrees.
I had to sneak away from the tour to get this empty and have worked on it extensively to remove red ropes and pieces of laminated paper from the seating at the end as well as trying to bring up the shadows and not burn out the light. i find it stunningly beautiful in its simplicity.

The last roll I shot was underexposed, so I shot this roll of TriX 400 at 200 ISO, but it came out a bit too light.

The University of al-Qarawiyyin, also written Al Quaraouiyine or Al-Karaouine (Arabic: جامعة القرويين; Berber: ⵜⵉⵎⵣⴳⵉⴷⴰ ⵏ ⵍⵇⴰⵕⴰⵡⵉⵢⵢⵉⵏ; French: Université Al Quaraouiyine), is a university located in Fez, Morocco. It is the oldest existing, continually operating and the first degree awarding educational institution in the world according to UNESCO and Guinness World Records[5][6] and is sometimes referred to as the oldest university.[7] The Al Quaraouiyine mosque-religious school / college was founded by Fatima al-Fihri in 859 with an associated school, or madrasa, which subsequently became one of the leading spiritual and educational centers of the historic Muslim world. It was incorporated into Morocco's modern state university system in 1963.
Education at Al Quaraouiyine University concentrates on the Islamic religious and legal sciences with a heavy emphasis on, and particular strengths in Classical Arabic grammar/linguistics and Maliki law, although a few lessons on other non-Islamic subjects such as French, English are also offered to students. Teaching is delivered in the traditional method, in which students are seated in a semi-circle (halqa) around a sheikh, who prompts them to read sections of a particular text, asks them questions on particular points of grammar, law, or interpretation, and explains difficult points. Students from all over Morocco and Islamic West Africa attend the Qarawiyyin, although a few might come from as far afield as Muslim Central Asia. Even Spanish Muslim converts frequently attend the institution, largely attracted by the fact that the sheikhs of the Qarawiyyin, and Islamic scholarship in Morocco in general, are heirs to the rich religious and scholarly heritage of Muslim al-Andalus.
Most students at the Qarawiyyin range from between the ages of 13 and 30, and study towards high school-level diplomas and university-level bachelor's degrees, although Muslims with a sufficiently high level of Arabic are also able to attend lecture circles on an informal basis, given the traditional category of visitors "in search of [religious and legal] knowledge" ("zuwwaar li'l-talab fii 'ilm"). In addition to being Muslim, prospective students of the Qarawiyyin are required to have memorized the Qur'an in full as well as several other shorter medieval Islamic texts on grammar and Maliki law, and in general to have a very good command of Classical Arabic. It is a common misconception that the university is open only to men, however, it is open to both men and women.
