...go through the opening, now 'celeberated' by this recent gateway addition. Note the triangular bay and copper cladding around slot windows, acknowledging Lasdun.
MacCormack' Chapel at the end of Lasdun's block. I suppose this is also a way of providing extra accommodation.

Architects; Powell & Moya, 1974.
Beautifully composed, very understated entrance. For some reason the proud managers demand imposing entrance halls and in this case no amount of planting boxes would help. One of my favourite corners of the project.
The following paragraph written for an obituary for Powell in Guardian of 19th May 2003 by Diana Rowntree describes Powell & Moya’s work rather well…
“They approached architecture in a way that was characteristic of the early modern movement, but is seldom remembered today. They thought that originality was appropriate "only when it grows out of the originality of the problem". They mistrusted the monumental approach, "making things big when they need not be". And they did not identify with the attitude that treats any job as a "prestige job", believing that each one - large or small, repetitive or standardised - had an identity of its own and should not, in order to save its designer time and trouble, be allowed to become an arbitrary rehash of one of its predecessors.”
This scheme also sits next to Cherwell like Arne Jacobsen’s St. Catherine's College which is not far from here. St. Catherine is quite rightly considered one of the most notable modern buildings by Jacobsen and is among the best modern buildings in Britain but walking around these two buildings provides hugely different architectural experiences.
Jacobsen’s immaculate modern classicism makes you very aware of each ‘nut and bolt’ and joint between different materials and even flowers and foliage. Your foot steps tend to follow the rhythm of paving joints. One is even aware of a ‘memory’ of a quadrangle with a strategically positioned tree, but let us face it, it could be a great building anywhere in the western world.
This does not apply to the act of walking in and around Wolfson College. You can not be any where other than rarefied British environment of Oxbridge.
Walking here does not allow you to be obsessive about fine detailing but forces you to understand the relationship between colonnades connecting external spaces at differing levels and the lush surrounding subtly modified in traditional British romantic landscaping traditions. The bonus of glimpses reminding you of modern masters like Corb, Aalto and Wright is an extra element of unexpected delight.
.....you arrive in a different courtyard, via another gateway addition, without copper cladding but the window design now nods at MacCormac's elevations. The centre-piece in this courtyard is.....

Baker House Dormitory (Alvar Aalto; Perry, Shaw & Hepburn, 1946-1949). An excellent and early (for the US) example of the brick-modernist vocabulary turned to something subtler, suppler and more variegated than the great majority of its applications. Fans of the Aalto office will note such signature touches as the copious use of warmly-colored wood on the interior, the selection of bricks of varying depth and texture, the slight enlargement of hallways to form common areas, and a general avoidance of rectilinear bunker form. The last of these, in this case, is accomplished by bending the whole plan into a gentle snake's curve, embracing without completely capturing outdoor space and granting residents a variety of views.

Raised plinth (tabula rasa) on which the most of the buildings are assembled is seen here. The free standing walls also emphasize the role they play in linking buildings and creating external spaces.

Andy MacMillan & Isi Metzstein built their largest project after winning a competition in 1974 and managed to import a bit of Glasgow 'street' vigour to Cambridge to jolt some of the hallowed quads.
"Two continuous, linear walls of accommodation, one nesting in the other, are arranged either side of a sequence of four courts, the whole folded into perimeter of a suburban block."
When the spring rains come, Dunedin turns mild and wet. I think it brings out the Scottish character very dramatically, and it's a good time to start photographing city scapes because of the added gloss everywhere. These images were taken in the student areas around the Polytechnic and university. I hope you appreciate that I got really, really drenched snapping these images. Haptchoo.

Surprisingly 45% of respondents felt it as more difficult than anything else. While only 6% don't believe it's not much difficult by any means. The general agreement is that apartment finding is more troublesome than anything else, including all these.

As kudzu encroaches on condos, condos likewise encroach on the kudzu.
New condominiums/student apartments are going up everywhere now, have been for the past years. In the distance you see the 909 Broad building, and the lot in-between is the old Armstrong & Dobbs location, where a Walmart was supposed to go, which was thankfully averted. Instead, we will get more condos.
Architects; Arup Associates. Each student's room clearly expressed with echoes of Japanese timber construction using precast concrete structure. Uncompromising modernism, dropped in the middle of an eclectic collection of buildings still upsets lots of local admirers of Victorian residential area near this building.
