Reviews

""Weaving together, architecture, urbanism, and the design of higher education in Italy during the 1960s and 1970s, Francesco Zuddas’s The University as a Settlement Principle rejects the binary of ""city and campus"" arguing instead for an understanding of knowledge production as a territorial imperative. His tale of late-modern attempts at the reform of higher education and urban design are instructive for today’s attempts to imbricate spaces of learning within the design of the contemporary city."" - Sharon Haar, University of Michigan, USA ""Zuddas’ book is an excellent examination of a little-known moment in campus design history... [It] does a commendable job of tying together developments in pedagogy broadly with the specifics of campus design as they manifested in his chosen cases.""
