We love that “campus” comes from the Latin word for “field,” implying that an ensemble of buildings relates to surrounding open space, whether hard urban surfaces or landscape. The model may be as simple as creating an urban forecourt to a new federal courthouse in Nashville or distributing components of a municipal complex or a U.S. Embassy throughout a public park. And then there is the paradigm of the U.S. Capitol placed by its planner Pierre Charles L’Enfant on the highest piece of land, and surrounded by Frederick Law Olmsted’s landscape, arranged to defer to the symbolic and actual prominence of the building and its dome.
