Mapping The Theaters Of Brooklyn's Past (1825-1925): A Gis Project, Elena Shefsky
Mapping The Theaters Of Brooklyn's Past (1825-1925): A Gis Project, Elena Shefsky
Publications and Research
Despite its rich performance culture, Brooklyn remains underrepresented in theater history, eclipsed in fame by the well-known theaters of Manhattan. One of the most populous areas in America, Brooklyn has been an artistic home to actors, playwrights, directors, and impresarios for centuries. That said, there is a dearth of accessible information and scholarship on Brooklyn theaters. My objective was to update an ongoing mapping project, The City Performs, to include information and images of theater buildings from Brooklyn. The project is an interactive, open-source digital map that uses ArcGIS software to georeference data about NYC theaters. I collected data …

The Uses Of Art: Medieval Metaphor In The Michigan Law Quadrangle, Ilene H. Forsyth
The Uses Of Art: Medieval Metaphor In The Michigan Law Quadrangle, Ilene H. Forsyth
About the Buildings
Within the architectural diversity of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus, a campus with a spread and a variety as extended as that of the university community itself, there is a place apart: the Cook Law Quad. The distinct ambiance created by the quad's buildings seems at variance with the melange that marks the rest of the campus where the free growth of the university over a long period of time has resulted in structures of various styles and uneven levels of distinction. Yet the quad's special character is not simply a matter of its architectural unity, as is often claimed. There …

Buildings And Grounds Of Yale University, Richard C. Carroll Ed.
Publications on Yale History

The date of publication follows closely the retirement of President Brewster and therefore includes the new buildings and the renovations of older structures completed during his term of office. The book also lists all Yale buildings now standing and used for university purposes and, where information is available, it records buildings no longer standing. Thus its purpose is mainly historical, to catalogue such basic facts as the date and style of construction, location, name of the architect, and the uses which the …

... Today [1965] Yale has about 150 buildings devoted to educational use.

Yale is happy to record its gratitude to all those who have in this way made the University such a special part of their lives. Many of the buildings are also memorial in nature and …
