Pembroke College, Cambridge is an illustrated survey of Cambridge University's third-oldest college, with chapters written by 16 notable alumni, and beautiful photography of its buildings and gardens, including architecture by Christopher Wren and the recently developed Mill Lane site.
This survey of Pembroke College, Cambridge features beautiful photography of its buildings and gardens, including architecture by Christopher Wren and the recently developed Mill Lane site.
With chapters written by 16 notable alumni, including Eric Idle and Stephen Halliday, it tells the story of Pembroke College, which was founded in 1347, and includes the new redevelopment on Mill Lane, discussing its original uses and history, the process of acquisition and of securing planning consent, and the architectural and landscape thinking behind it. This major project enlarges the footprint of the College by a third and creates a dynamic new city quarter with publicly accessible gardens.
This magnificently illustrated publication also turns its attention to the historic site of Pembroke, and walks the reader through the growth of the College across the centuries: from the fourteenth century, through the building of the Chapel by the young Christopher Wren, through the dramatic changes wrought by Waterhouse and up to the present day. It explores some of the historic buildings, rooms, paths, gardens and works of art. Alumni of Pembroke College such as Ray Dolby, John Sulston and Tim Brooke-Taylor are also remembered in this engaging book.
