Graduate Center of Durham University

Durham, England 
Summer 1996 
Critic: Simon Atkinson

 

Designed to attract graduate students from outside the area, this facility of Durham University seeks to establish a sense of belonging for those students who are away from home. The complex is situated in a beautiful wood land descending form the old city wall down to the River Wear. Thirty study bedrooms and a gathering hall provide the graduate students with a relaxing environment for studying and discussing late into nights, as well as for sharing and exchanging their experience and thoughts. The buildings are arranged in the way that gives the place and the landscape a greater extent and excitement. Series of walls lead you indirectly through the woods and surprise you with each discovery. It makes the landscape into a memorable experience.
