C3 374 Learning In Fluid

Description

Through a selection of recently completed projects, this edition of the magazine investigates an emerging university building typology. Flexible learning spaces are a hot item today, illustrated by new projects such as The Forum at University of Exeter by Wilkinson Eyre Architects, the Melbourne School of Design by John Wardle Architects + NADAAA, and Zaha Hadid’s Investcorp Building for Oxford University’s Middle East Centre. Also in this issue, a contemporary phenomenon of communal public space best described as “outdoor rooms and indoor squares” comes to light through a selection of eight works, including media libraries and community and cultural centres.
