The image shows a page from the "Harvard Alumni Bulletin" with two sections. On the left side, there is a floor plan labeled "First-story Plan for Proposed Addition to Robinson Hall." The plan includes a scale and various labels for different areas such as "Exhibition Hall," "Office," "Toilet," "Storage," and "Work Space." The plan is detailed and shows the layout of the proposed addition to Robinson Hall, with specific areas and their dimensions.
On the right side of the page, there is an article titled "Academy of Arts and Sciences," which discusses the election of new fellows to the Academy during its annual meeting in Boston. The article lists the names and academic titles of the new fellows, including professors and assistant professors from the Harvard Faculty. The text is informative and provides details about the contributions and expertise of these individuals.
The two sections are bordered by a clean, simple design, and the page is well-organized with a clear distinction between the floor plan and the article.
This image is an open booklet or magazine, specifically the "Harvard Alumni Bulletin," showing two adjacent pages (pages 1140 and 1141). The left page (1140) contains a detailed architectural floor plan titled "First-story Plan for Proposed Addition to Robinson Hall." It includes labels for various rooms and spaces such as the "Exhibition Hall (Recreation Room)," "Office," "Toilet," "Storage," and "Work Space." The plan is drawn to scale, with a note indicating that "one sixteenth inch equals one foot."
The text on the left page discusses the proposed addition to Robinson Hall, mentioning the need for a permanent exhibition of building materials, models, and a recreation room for students. It also describes the arrangement of drafting rooms, storage for drawings, and instructor offices.
The right page (1141) contains text discussing the classic brick and stone architecture of Robinson Hall and the University's approach to modern design influences. It mentions the University's adoption of a bold original and practical design inspired by modern architecture in France, Germany, and Scandinavia. The text also lists several Harvard faculty members who were elected as fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, along with their respective degrees and positions.
The overall theme of the pages is the architectural and design considerations for the proposed addition to Robinson Hall at Harvard University, with a focus on blending modern design elements with the existing classic architecture.
This image displays two adjacent, aged pages from the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, specifically pages 1140 and 1141.
The left page (page 1140) features a detailed architectural floor plan titled “First-story Plan for Proposed Addition to Robinson Hall.” The plan, labeled “Scheme ‘B’,” is described as the “Exhibition Floor Plan” of the “Proposed Addition, Robinson Hall, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.” The architectural drawing meticulously illustrates the layout of the proposed addition, including labeled rooms such as “Exhibition Hall,” “Drafting Room,” and “Lecture Hall.” Below the plan, accompanying text discusses the functional design of the new building, its potential use for teaching architectural construction, and how its aesthetic design—particularly the bold horizontal glass—would harmonize with the existing (then) pseudo-classic brick and stone architecture of Robinson Hall. The article notes the building’s irregular shape to accommodate the land and mentions the desire for ample natural light, particularly in the drafting room.
The right page (page 1141) continues the article, delving into the architectural philosophy behind the proposal, advocating for experimentation with modern (at the time) design that harmonizes with the existing Georgian style of Harvard Yard rather than replicating it. It then transitions to a distinct section titled “ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES.” This section reports on the recent annual meeting of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in Boston, listing the 55 Harvard affiliates who were elected as fellows, including professors from various departments such as Mechanical Engineering, Clinical Medicine, Social Ethics, Economics, Law, History, and English.
The pages are printed on off-white, slightly yellowed paper, characteristic of early-to-mid 20th-century publications. The right page has some visible discoloration or stains near the top and bottom edges. The overall presentation suggests this is a historical document discussing architectural proposals and academic recognition at Harvard University.
The image is a double-page spread from a magazine or publication, featuring a historical plan for a proposed addition to Robinson Hall at Harvard University. The left page contains a diagram of the proposed building, with annotations and labels indicating various features and dimensions. The right page includes text discussing the architectural design and functionality of the new addition, as well as a list of individuals who were elected as fellows of the Harvard Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The image depicts an open page from a bulletin or magazine, specifically the Harvard Alumni Bulletin, with the page numbers 1140 and 1141 visible at the top corners. The page layout includes text and a diagram. The text on the left side of the page is a detailed description of a proposed architectural addition to Robinson Hall at Harvard University. It discusses the design, functionality, and integration of the new structure with the existing building.
The diagram on the left side is a floor plan of the proposed addition to Robinson Hall. It shows the layout of rooms, including exhibition spaces, a recreation room, and offices. The plan indicates the placement of windows, doors, and other architectural features. The text describes the building's design, emphasizing its harmony with the existing Georgian style architecture and its functional requirements, such as adequate lighting and space for various activities.
The right side of the page contains a list of names and titles, possibly faculty members or notable alumni, along with their affiliations and academic credentials. The list includes various professors and their respective fields of study, such as Mechanical Engineering, Clinical Medicine, Social Ethics, Law, Economics, History, and Languages.
The text on the right side also mentions the recent annual meeting of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, held in Boston, and notes the election of new fellows to the Academy. It highlights the contributions and roles of these individuals within their respective fields.
Overall, the image presents a combination of architectural planning and academic recognition within the context of Harvard University, showcasing both the physical expansion of its facilities and the intellectual contributions of its members.
