UK - Oxford - Open Doors 2021 - Cohen Quad 21_DSC8556
My Website : Twitter : Facebook : Instagram : Photocrowd
You can rather frustratingly see this colonade from the Walton Street entrance to the Cohen Quad but due to a combination of Covd last year and a last minute withdrawal from Open Doors two years ago this years OPT event was my first opportunity to get inside.
Having taken the 'obvious' shots of the Alison Brooks designed Cohen Quad I then spent a bit of time looking for more unusual images including this architectural abstract created by the Glulam arches of the colonnade.
From Alison Brook's website : "This project is a 21st century reinvention of the ‘collegiate quadrangle’, the basis of Oxford’s academic and urban fabric. The Oxford quadrangle is an 800 year old pedagogical model that combines student rooms with teaching spaces, organised around landscaped courtyards. Every Oxford college is a variation of this typology. Alison Brooks Architects’ new 6000m² Cohen Quad will expand Exeter College’s 700 year old campus in the heart of Oxford, with undergraduate and graduate living accommodation for 90 students, an auditorium, seminar rooms, social learning spaces, archive, café, roof terraces, offices and fellows’ accommodation."
