From Peter Peters
Chris Kuether wonders why campus designers don’t let pedestrians determine
where walkways should go
(Letters, 13 June, p 52).
I remember a newly appointed dean of a US university faculty ordering that
the campus paving, which was arranged in a formal geometrical pattern and seldom
used, be torn up, returned to grass and new paving laid on the paths of least
effort eroded by generations of students and staff in their movements between
doors, gateways and social foci.
