London architect John Simpson, one of the world’s leading practitioners of New Classicism and New Urbanism, has been selected to design the new School of Architecture building at the University of Notre Dame. [...]
Notre Dame’s new building for the School of Architecture has been underwritten by a $27 million gift from Matthew Walsh and his wife Joyce. The 80,000 square-foot building will be located on the south end of the Notre Dame campus, east of the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.

The big problem with "new Urbanism" is that the streets are too narrow and the houses are too close together and at Seaside, FL and Seabrook, WA the houses, though high quality construction, are so uniformly treacly the place has the feel of either Disneyland or "The Truman Show"
