Concept drawing This three-dimensional concept drawing shows the relationship between the main elements of the project for the proposed campus and the route that connects the various different elements of the site. Project: Headington Campus, Oxford Brookes University Architect: Design Engine Architects Ltd. Client: Oxford Brookes University Location/date: Oxford, UK/ 2009–ongoing case study This chapter has considered the context of building, which requires a broad consideration of the site on which the building sits, as well as aspects of orientation, view, scale, massing and form, which are relative to the buildings and spaces around them. When Oxford Brookes University decided to redevelop their main Headington campus, they commissioned British-based architects Design Engine to produce a new master plan for the 2,276 square meters (24,500 square feet) site. They were asked to design a series of interconnected buildings as part of a phased development for the university. Design Engine’s plans were approved and work began on the £80 million (USD$123 million) scheme in 2011. The project encompasses a new library, student union and School of the Built Environment; all arranged around new internal courtyards, and commercial space leading off a new public piazza. The challenge on this site was to work with a range of existing buildings and spaces on a scheme the scale of a village or small town. The brief for the project required an understanding of a range of buildings and spaces: some large, open spaces such as libraries; other smaller spaces, such as classrooms, seminars and complementary services spaces. There will be a range of different scales and types of spaces for students to interact with each other, combining social space with group learning environments. These spaces will adapt to the students’ changing needs and have the flexibility to enable both individual study and group learning. In addition, there are open, external spaces as well as courtyards and internal squares. Finally, a range of spaces at the edge of the site are more public spaces; they form part of the streets and public space of the city and community around them. The spaces and buildings are part of a landscape, working together to create a new sense of place, a new campus environment and identity for the university. A set of streets and walkways are used to connect buildings, classrooms and other learning facilities for students. 26Placing Architecture Job No: CD0412-49 / Sammi 2nd Proof Title: Fund Architecture 2nd Edition (AVA) 76451_CTP_001-045GK_2Mar_.indd 26 4/30/12 10:45 AM
