One architect, one plan: UMass Dartmouth's concrete campus is a rare example of an entire university designed as a single Brutalist work of art.
A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Dartmouth has a long-running one. Four stops over 0.4 miles, about 16 minutes of driving. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.
There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
