ABSTRACT

Aarhus University is unique within the canon of university design. Its alliance with a single architectural firm, C.F. Møller, sustained through nearly eight decades, has produced a campus overwhelming in the congruity of its architecture and planning. Its ensemble of lecture theatres, classrooms, laboratories, offices and libraries is compellingly pulled together by the dogged application of a single architectonic vision, creating a village of simple, rectangular yellow-brick buildings capped with yellow-tile roofs within a parkland setting (Figure 2.92).
