A building that lets the weather in
Waterloo Architecture’s Cambridge building turns the river, light and material into part of the studio.
The context
Where the work begins
The official building gallery moves from the river edge to the red and grey walls, stairs, studios and library. It reads like a campus portrait made from thresholds.
The takeaway
What follows
Architecture becomes alumni memory here because the building is doing work: it gives students a place to test scale, structure and the way a room changes a question.
