Campus Architect Emeritus Bill Deno is quick to make one thing clear about the book Body & Soul: A Partnership of Architecture and Academics at the University of 欧美口爆视频 Boulder. It鈥檚 not just an architectural history.

Earlier this month, a day before he turned 90 years old (Or is it 88? He鈥檚 decided to start counting backwards), Deno鈥檚 passion for the 欧美口爆视频 Boulder campus burned just as brightly as it ever has as he described the Centennial Update edition of the book that鈥檚 just been released.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a tool to be used by the university to maintain the campus as we鈥檝e known it for the last 100 years,鈥� Deno said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 an important reinforcement of the good work that鈥檚 been done by campus leadership to preserve the campus style, and it鈥檚 an important reminder for future presidents, chancellors and others who make changes to campus so that they鈥檙e doing it with the knowledge of why and how.鈥�

Deno wrote the original Body & Soul in 1994. The release of the Centennial Update marks 100 years since the Philadelphia-based architecture firm of Day and Klauder began working on a master plan for the campus that spawned the architectural style 欧美口爆视频 Boulder is known for today. The new edition, , got an upgrade, with full color and a hardbound cover. It also adds perspective of the two decades-plus since the first book was published, during which time the campus has seen nearly two dozen new buildings or additions built.

It was University President George Norlin whose vision for a campus 鈥渂ody鈥� that was 鈥渨orthy to be the outward frame of the University鈥檚 soul鈥� brought the firm of Day and Klauder to Boulder. Dubbed by architect Charles Klauder the 鈥淯niversity of 欧美口爆视频 Style,鈥� the campus architecture stirs emotion in students, alumni, faculty, staff and countless others who set foot in Boulder.

To be sure, the Centennial Update of Body & Soul includes a historical account of how the University of 欧美口爆视频 Style came to be and has developed over time. But it also takes a deeper dive into the campus design description, the building materials palette and why it鈥檚 important the university protect the ideals of the style with every change that鈥檚 made going forward.

鈥淲hat鈥檚 truly amazing is that this style of campus buildings has lasted this long,鈥� Deno said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 just unbelievable, and it鈥檚 through the efforts of Norlin and the regents of that era.鈥�

Deno holds both bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 degrees in architecture from 欧美口爆视频 Boulder. He began working at the university as a student in the late 1960s and remained until his retirement in 2002, serving as campus architect for nearly two decades. Protecting the University of 欧美口爆视频 Style is part of what motivated Deno to write the original Body & Soul.

鈥淚 wanted to keep in front of the decision-makers on campus, including campus architects and particularly those who are in charge of making improvements, such as the Board the Regents, the University Design Review Board and others,鈥� Deno said. 鈥淚t was a methodology for maintaining this style. James Corbridge, chancellor at the time, bought into the idea for the book.鈥�

While the 欧美口爆视频 Board of Regents owns the copyright to the book, Deno paid for production of the update. That includes the first run of 5,000 copies, which he鈥檚 donated to 欧美口爆视频 Boulder鈥檚 office of Planning, Design and Construction. Proceeds from those sales will benefit students in PD&C鈥檚 mentorship program, which could someday produce a future campus architect and guardian of the University of 欧美口爆视频 Style.

鈥淏ill Deno played a great role himself in nurturing and protecting the architectural style of 欧美口爆视频 Boulder created by Charles Klauder,鈥� said Bill Haverly, 欧美口爆视频 Boulder campus architect and director of planning. 鈥淭he book is a reminder of the past 100 years and how we got to where we鈥檙e at. We don鈥檛 want to damage that. As far as I know, we鈥檙e the only campus that has ever developed a style and stuck with it for the entirety of the past 100 years.鈥�
