Description
A study of the campus projects designed by R&R Studios to invite community bonding.
In 2022, Princeton University inaugurated Yeh College and New College West and introduced a new addition to its extensive collection of site-responsive campus art installations. The Home We Share is a series of three joyous, poetic, and playful dreamscapes nestled into the landscape surrounding these new residential colleges that offer spaces for gathering, relaxation, and play to generations of students who call this place home. Designed by R&R Studios—a multidisciplinary Miami-based firm weaving together visual arts, architecture, landscape, and the city—they offer a unique artistic impulse for social interaction among the students, teachers, and other people visiting Princeton University.
This book features The Home We Share through some one hundred conceptual diagrams, hand drawings, architectural plans, construction photos, and photographic documentation of the realized installations on the Princeton campus. The images are framed by an essay by distinguished architecture historian Michelangelo Sabatino, an interview with R&R Studio’s founders Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt by Harvard art Museum’s curator Mitra Abbaspour, and a foreword by James Christen Steward, director of Princeton University Art Museum.
