Chapman takes into consideration the current pressures on college campuses to provide not only a sense of place for students and staff but also space for ideas about more healthy and humane civic environmentsGoing far beyond the questions of where to put the quad and how to shield the offal coming in and out of dining halls, Chapman describes the changes in the academic village in the twentieth century, the effects of cyberspace and globalization along with the new demography and finance, the role of the campus as civic and marketplace metaphor, and the ethic of place in finding a harmonic convergence. He closes with commentary on finding an American campus form that meets the demands of the next generation for sustainability and responsibility.
