Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history and future of the unique partnership between the City of Columbia and the University of South Carolina State universities are more than just places of higher learning, more indeed than just campuses or buildings, and more than just students scurrying from class to class. They are a symbol of the future of the nation and a statement about the commitment the sponsoring state has made to its people. In turn each city or town that hosts, develops, and nurtures these institutions recognizes that it holds within the community one of the more precious jewels in a state's crown. So it is with the city of Columbia and the University of South Carolina. Richard F. Galehouse has been involved in the university's master planning work for more than twenty-five years, making him more than qualified to take a lapidary look not only at the present and unfolding plans for the university, but also at the historic path that has brought it to its current luster. Encompassing its earliest days as Columbia College in 1801 (almost two decades before Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia); the devastating effects of the Civil War; the "crisis years" between 1861 and 1915, when the institution was closed twice and reorganized five times; and some bungled urban planning in the 1950s and 60s, Galehouse's candid examination details the growth of the university and speaks hopefully about its present and its future. The city of Columbia and the University of South Carolina are unique in how they were designed to grow together, yet cosmopolitan in how they grapple collectively with the challenges and difficulties of combining the city's needs with the university's to create a symbiotic but nevertheless holistic community. The plan for this meeting of minds and needs is the meat of this narrative. The original and iconic "Horseshoe grid" of the city is echoed in the "Innovista" master plan outlined here, which will create in the city a shining setting for the university, one of its own most highly prized treasures. A foreword is provided by Patrick L. Phillips, global chief executive officer of the Urban Land Institute (2009–2018) and an instructor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design Executive Education Program and at the Carey Business School at Johns Hopkins University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Improvement of Columbia, South Carolina: Report to the Civic League, Columbia, South Carolina In a group plan, it is of fundamental importance that the gen eral style of architecture of the different buildings be the same. It is evident that such a grouping should radiate from the Capitol, this being the building of greatest prominence and importance. Therefore a style agreeing with the Capitol is necessary. The simple forms, familiar in the classic Renaissance of the South, which has come to be known as the Colonial style, would seem most harmonious, and would give the most fitting architectural expression, - in keeping, also, with the best traditions of Southern architecture. The recently erected City Hall and Opera House directly in front of the Capitol is a striking example of the lack of both a Scheme for grouping and the entire absence of an architectural motive for the city's public buildings. Its style, whether good or not in itself, is certainly in total discord with the dignified lines of the Capitol, detracting materially from the prospect both looking from and toward the Capitol grounds. Its location directly on the street is unfortunate, in not providing suitable perspective for its front, or surrounding areas that might be made attractive with lawn and shrubbery.
