Hindsight foresight: from the founding to the future of five Ivy League campuses : Harvard, Yale, Penn, Princeton, Columbia
(Book)

"This project examines the evolution of the campuses of Harvard, Yale, Penn, Princeton, and Columbia (collectively referred to in this study as "the Five") from their founding, through the centuries of their development, and into the future to better understand how academic and other forces gave form to the buildings and grounds and how historical outcomes may inform future growth. Essays and illustrations present and analyze the vision plans currently under consideration by each university. As these plans are works-in-progress, web links are provided to follow evolution beyond today. A capstone essay titled "Hindsight-Foresight" presents themes linking the past, present, and future of campus development at the Five. The goal of the project-through publication, exhibition, and live presentation/discussion-is to engage campus planners, other design professionals, and architectural historians in further exploring how academic and other forces gave form to the buildings and grounds and how historical outcomes may inform future growth."--Www.scup.org viewed on 4/29/2013.
