Kraus Campo

The Campo was designed and created by artist Mel Bochner[1] and landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh.

[2][3] The Campo consists of orange pathways surrounded by various species of shrubs, a central seating area, and a quotation tiled onto the back wall.

The Greek concept of an agora as a marketplace of ideas and the city of Siena, Italy, were the main inspirations for the Campo's design.

Shrubbery in the Campo include evergreen boxwoods, azaleas, semi-dwarf red level Japanese barberry, ilex, and ivy.

The exposed wall of the GSIA Building (home to the Tepper School of Business) was painted blue and has a quotation by Ludwig Wittgenstein, displayed with the words in reversed order, in black and white porcelain tiles.
