We are proud to announce the publication of our first book about the work of the practice. ‘Twelve Halls’ contains a collection of built and unbuilt projects, published to coincide with our contribution to the 16th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
The publication is available in a number of architectural bookshops including the RIBA, the AA and the RIAI.
Building has started on our project for St. Cross College in Oxford. It will accommodate a library, seminar rooms and 53 post-graduate rooms just behind St. Giles. Soon after excavation started, we uncovered the shrouded remains of a woman buried in 1642 during the English Civil War. Oxford Archaeologists dated her from the coins that had been placed on her eyes. After a pause to remove the remains, the builders have started foundations around the historic walls. Completion is expected by May 2016.
A Ground Breaking Ceremony was held on the site on 27th February. Practical Completion of the building is anticipated in May 2016. You can follow progress on site by accessing the contractor’s webcam here (un:stcrosscollege; pw:oxford)
