It is often a challenge to explain the admirable campus of the University of Cincinnati; the alma mater of Jonathan, myself, and many of TDSF's interns, to those who, like most, assume there is not much worth any thought in the corn-fed [somewhat cold] heart of America. Since 1996, with the completion of the DAAP (Design, Architecture, Art and Planning) building, The University of Cincinnati has been on a roll with one internationally-reknown building after another. Michael Bierut, another UC alum, wrote an article this week on his experience with the changing aesthetic of UC. The article contains images of buildings on the campus from Peter Eisenman (DAAP), Michael Graves, Harry Cobb, Frank Gehry, and Thom Mayne.
The following link is from designobserver.com. Michael Beirut is a regular contributor to the site. Some of the articles on there are a bit esoteric and dry, but there are a few gems as well.
