PUP staffer writes book on Princeton University’s architecture

by Jessica Pellien | Filed in: Princeton University Press - Twitter | 10:03am EST

One of our own has written a book! Click through to read an article about Senior Production Editor Dale Cotton’s new book on the unique architecture of Princeton University–Princeton Modern: Highlights of Campus Architecture from the 1960s to the Present. The uninitiated may be surprised to learn that the campus features buildings designed by I. M. Pei, Frank Gehry, Rafael Vinoly, Robert A.M. Stern, Minoru Yamasaki, Michael Grave, and Robert Venturi — a virtual who’s who of architects. Watch the video below for more on this unique architectural history:

And if you are in Princeton, stop by Labyrinth Books at 6 PM on June 1st for the book release party.

Congratulations, Dale!

    Apologies, I see a typo in my post. That should be “Michael Graves”

    I especially like the entranceway on the first building with the grand looking facade in front. Very intriguing of a design.
