This is the most amazing space on the Princeton campus in my opinion. The stone carving, geometry, and detail is really dramatic. I expected to see Harry Potter walk into view, and in fact, doing a bit of research on the web I found a
very similar cloister in Wilshire England that was used in at least two of the films.
Expect to see hooded monks walking in rows on their way to prayer rather than scholars discussing the interpretation of research data here. That hall sure draws the eye.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what it would take to build this today.
