UK - Oxford - St Antonys College - Investcorp Building by Zaha Hadid 04_sq_DSC0295
Having followed the construction of the Zaha Hadid designed Investcorp Building since it's initial announcement I know there was quite a bit of debate over the cladding for the building. A range of materials were considered including Corten (rusty) steel and a dull grey colour but I think the highly polished stainless steel chosen was by far the best option.

From the Zaha Hadid website : "The new Investcorp Building for the Middle East Centre provides 1,127 square metres of additional floor space and a new 117-seat lecture theatre; doubling the space available for the Middle East Centre’s expanding library & archive, and providing optimum conditions to conserve and manage the centre’s collections that were previously stored in the basement of 66 Woodstock Road."
