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.
