CAMBRIDGE ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCH - WHY DO WE NEED LIBRARIES?

SEPTEMBER 2024

Cambridge Architectural Research - Why do we need Libraries?

Associate Tim Allen-Booth gave a talk on the New College Library at Magdalene College Cambridge as part of an event on the future of libraries organised by Cambridge Architectural Research as part of their Showroom series. CAR helped Magdalene to write the brief for the new library and it was fascinating to hear the story of its development. An enjoyable evening of discussion concluded with a dusk tour of the library kindly facilitated by the College.

The Housing Design Handbook

A case study of our Stirling Prize shortlisted project Darbisher Place has been included in the second edition of The Housing Design Handbook by David Levitt and Jo McCafferty. The book looks at a range of cases to illustrate the way that different issues in the design of housing have been approached and what makes successful housing design.
