UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
During the
fall of 2001 I had the opportunity to travel to England and study in Leeds for
a semester. Leeds is located about three
hours north of London by train. The
university offers an exchange program for students majoring in Architectural
Engineering. While in Leeds, I completed
classes in architecture and structural engineering, through their civil
engineering department. This experience
provided a different perspective of architecture and structural engineering
from what we get in this country. Some
of the architecture classes went into the history of Leeds and other cities in
the area. It was interesting to see how
much farther back the histories of these cities extended than any cities in the
U.S. Photographs and samples of work
from my semester in Leeds can be viewed through the links below.
The Baines Wing - This architecture project traced the history of a local
building from its original use to its present state. The building I chose was called the Baines
Wing and was located on the campus of the University of Leeds, formerly
Yorkshire College.
