UK design firm Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios completes the new art faculty design for the University of Warwick by Coventry. It is defined by the terracotta-clad detail throughout the upper and it brings together the faculty’s various departments all together in one building and is meant to encourage collaboration and creativity. This is conceived as four clusters that are arranged to preserve the trees on site.
Partner at Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios Andy Theobald states, “We started with a building that was actually a series of four orthogonal clusters, slightly offset to one another. Responding to diagonal desire lines across campus and visual corridors we twisted one of the clusters. People are drawn into the building by the intrigue of the stair, which – to its users – has proved its attraction: 95 per cent of visitors to the building use the stair in preference to the lifts.”
