On Wednesday 11th June associate Adelina Fasan will give a lecture at ECE Architecture Studio in Worthing as part of the 'A piECE of their mind' Lecture Series. Adelina will explore how to design buildings that respond to complex urban and historic contexts, balancing scale, memory and meaning by looking at some of our buildings including the Master's Field Development for Balliol College in Oxford and Maggie's Centre Cambridge.
Arriving at the School via the De Parys Avenue Gates. Visualisation depicting the set-back frontage of the proposed New Academic Building, revealing the Main School Building.
We are delighted that Bedford School have been granted planning permission to build their New Academic Building. The new teaching facility, arranged across two-storeys will host 21 classrooms for Maths, Economics and Computer Science along with smaller rooms for group working and seminars. The building is composed as a chain of simple square teaching volumes arranged around a central breakout and circulation concourse. The facades borrow from the organisational principles and neo-gothic elements of the Main School Building - employing deep reveals, gabled roofs, chimneys and a lantern to create generous, bright and airy spaces for teaching and learning. In front of the new building, there will be a new pedestrianised square with delicate trees and lush low-level planting. To the rear, a series of small villa gardens will be combined to form a larger courtyard garden captured by the existing library and New Academic Building, hosting teaching terraces and verdant spaces for socialising and rest.
