Inhaltsangabe

Construction Notes is an engaging primer on architectural design, modern construction and its materials. It is also a short and lively history of an academic institution (Georgetown University), its immediate neighborhood and its place in a city (Washington D.C.).

A wonderfully-written, entertaining and fascinating account of what came to be known as the Georgetown Campus Completion Project. From ground-breaking to completion, the author was the Law Center’s liaison to the construction team and provides a first-hand view on how, in the words of Buzz Yudell, FAIA, "by building a campus, we can build community, honor our history and project the values of our institutions into the future."
