The alterations included a new entrance, exhibition space, offices and digital studio, and were part of creating a new Faculty of the Built Environment in the middle of a busy Oxford Brookes University campus.
 
A series of folded metal and glass objects link the currently diverse parts of the faculty. There are a number of these strange glowing objects 'scattered' through the building redefining the space around them.
 
The new digital studio contains mobile desks that can house computers and screens for each student. They can be tethered and plugged in to power and data cables dropping down from the ceiling. After use their lids can be closed and locked, securing their contents. At dusk they glow softly like fireflies.
