Flying is the best way to reach the shores of Seoul Ewha University’s new building (founded in 1886, Ewha welcomes 22,000 female students and is ranked as one of the best universities in the world), thought and realised by Dominique Perrault, as a result of an international architecture competition organised in 2003, and inaugurated on April 29th 2008. A landscape then, more than an architecture work, located in the midst of Seoul’s university area. A campus valley where nature, sport grounds, event locations and educational buildings mix, intermingle and follow one another. A long asphalted strip, delineated at one end by a race track, and, completely surrounded by nature. Arranged nature where pear trees and topiary reign. Black asphalt, red race track, green nature and finally the white brightness of a valley appears. A valley, which is bravely drawn in the ground, slides down along a gentle slope. At the other end, the slope becomes a huge stairway which can be used as an open air amphitheatre if necessary. At the very heart of the valley, a dreamlike immersion takes place. Opposed to the outdoor world, a subtle and serene universe appears suddenly. Classrooms and libraries, amphitheatres and auditoriums, shops and movement… Everything follows up with a constant natural light. Perrault is prone to buried, excavated, nestled places (the French National Library in Paris, the Velodrome and Olympic swimming pool in Berlin, both built, or the studies for the Kansai Library in Japan and the Cultural Centre in Santiago de Compostela, Spain…) Perrault has the desire, physically speaking, to appropriate the territory, to mingle the constructed material with the ground, the desire to exploit to its paroxysm the idea that “concept and matter have to grapple one with another”. At Ewha University, Perrault puts one more time in action: words (idea, concept, abstraction, geometry, strategy, tension, fusion, freedom, simplicity, evidence…), principles (physics, mechanics, dimension…) and commitments (urban concerns, creation of a location and not only of a building, refusal of formalism, and disappearance of architecture…) which best qualify his architecture.’

Oxford University Museum of Natural History
In the 1840's science was at a low ebb within the university. Thomas Acland the guiding light behind the building was determined to redress this deficiency within the great university. It was Acland a personal friend of John Ruskin that was primarily responsible for igniting Ruskin's enthusiasm for the project, which eventually reflected as much upon Ruskinian principals as it did upon Acland's initial vision.
The Museum next to University Parks and preceding Keble College (now opposite)1860 by Deane and Wooward fortuitously coincided with Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species". The building is remarkable as it records this period faithfully but reflects John Ruskin's influence upon the upon architecture and a meeting of artistic and scientific ideas in this seminal period. The museum also hosted the celebrated meeting of The British Association at which Thomas Henry Huxley defended Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection against Rt Revd. Samuel Wilberforce the then Bishop of Oxford.The building was built in a gothic style however its construction was in modern materials and was forward looking, although perhaps its iron and glass interior owes something to Paxton's Crystal Palace, though certainly not in its style which has been described as a Belgian wool hall rather than a Venetian Palace as favoured by Ruskin. The building does however reflect in a physical and artistic form the ideas and principles that shaped Ruskin's thought and life and is in stark contrast to almost any other secular building of the period,
The building both inside and out is covered in some of the finest stone-carving of the Victorian era to be found anywhere in Britain. Much of this was done under Ruskin's direction, see James O'Shea's work (window west front). Ruskin believed that much of the design and ornament should be left to the workers themselves once the main architectural principles had ben established. This was the first building where the O'Shea brothers of Ballhooly, Co Cork were employed.
This building's interior is like a forest of iron and glass, the spandrels are richly decorated and the capitals comprise of elaborate foliage. These were wrought by Francis Skidmore of Coventry.
