UK - Oxford - Open Doors 2021 - Cohen Quad 20_DSC8568

My Website : Twitter : Facebook : Instagram : Photocrowd

You can see the timber colonnade of the Alison Brooks designed Cohen Quad from the Walton Street entrance so I was keen to visit during the recent OPT Open Doors event.

The glazed colonnade cleverly ties all the different functions of the building together. What is perhaps less clever is the amount of leaves they'll have to clear from the almost flat glass roof during Autumn. Luckily for me there weren't many when I visited so I was able to do a little bit of leaf clearance in Photoshop.......

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."
