Gothic and Gothic revival The
University Gothic style flourished in English universities in the 13th to 15th centuries, inspired by the
Gothic architecture of monasteries and manor houses of the time. Important subgenres of the
Gothic revival of the 19th and early 20th centuries in educational buildings were
Collegiate Gothic, which was extensively used in North American schools and colleges, and
High Victorian Gothic, which was used in English universities and colleges, particularly the
redbrick universities named for their buildings in this architectural style.
Queen Anne style Edward Robert Robson pioneered the use of
Queen Anne style architecture for school buildings. Robson believed
Gothic architecture's association with religion was inappropriate for secular education buildings. Robson's beliefs inspired the Auckland Education Board architects
Mitchell and Watt who designed many Queen Anne style school buildings.
Brutalism at the
University of California, San Diego Brutalist architecture, characterised by minimalist construction showcasing the building materials and structural elements over decorative design, was extensively used on university campuses across the world in the 1960s and 1970s.
