What is the architectural style of Oxford University?

The British regard Oxford as a tradition, a symbol, a nostalgia and a pursuit.

The streets are lined with medieval quadrangles, each of which is a college. At that time, because learning was the patent of the church, all the academies were quadrangular architectural designs, but they were often surrounded by beautiful gardens.

When I first arrived in Oxford, I had the same impression. Every college was like those shabby old temples all over China. As soon as I entered the door, I felt lonely and desolate.

Medieval towers are antique, and Renaissance-style buildings are full of romance. The library in the People's Court, built in 137 1, is the oldest library in England. University Botanical Garden, built in 162 1, is the earliest teaching botanical garden in Britain.

The winding, deep and long Queen Lane has been preserved since Oxford was founded, and the external environment is like this, so people can feel the massiness of history when they walk into the building. In the earliest library of the school-Duke Humphrey Library, time seems to stand still, and silence fills the hall of this book. From the floor to the roof, there are all manuscripts and unpublished materials, just like treasures to be developed by later generations.
