THE NOOK AT ST ALDATE’S
This project is concerned with public accessibility – should Oxford Universities Bodleian library collection be available to the wider community outside of academia? By reimagining St Aldates’s church as a space for curation this design investigation explored the organic forms associated with Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Norman Foster, Santiago Caltrava as a counterpoint to the solidity and rectilinear nature of the site. The aim to create a structure that filters the light from the aisle windows in the creation of transparency, where both functions - library and church – can coexist.
