Paul Philippe Cret (1876-1945)
Essay discusses his commission to draw up a general development plan for the
campus at the University of Texas.
But he recognized the importance of introducing a plan that was flexible enough to meet the changing demands of the university, and he proposed what art historian Carol McMichael has called an "elastic formal plan" that allowed for variety in placement and design of individual buildings, as well as a certain amount of freedom for future development
The combination of formal, axial planning and informal, casual arrangements was in many respects unique in the design of American college campuses and has been widely admired
In 1931 the also commissioned Cret to design a new library on the site of Frederick E
Cret proposed several different designs, but the regents eventually opted for a large axially planned building in a Mediterranean-influenced Beaux-Arts style topped by a thirty-one-story tower
The great tower, the only structure at the time that competed with the dome of the state Capitol on the Austin skyline, became the centerpiece of the university's campus, and formed, in Cret's words, "the image carried in our memory when we think of the place." Between 1930 and the early 1940s Cret, working in association with the firm of Greene, LaRoche, and Dahl and Robert Leon White, designed eighteen additional buildings for the campus

Daniel Hudson Burnham - Historic Architect
An illustrated review of his career and major architectural commissions.
With Sherman's civic connections and Burnham's charisma, Burnham and Root quickly assumed a leading role in designing houses for Chicago's wealthiest families
Burnham and Root became the establishment firm for Chicago's business elite, designing their offices in the Loop and their houses in the suburbs
Using some of his south lakefront plans and conceptual designs as a base, he envisioned a new Chicago as a "Paris on the Prairie" with French inspired public works constructions, fountains and boulevards radiating from a central, domed municipal palace
