It is the first purpose-built drawing studio to open in the UK for 100 years and is the renowned architect and founding member of radical collective Archigram’s first building in the country.
The curved studio has been designed to emphasise natural light [...] there is a large circular north-light and a rear clerestory, which provides softer light.</p></em><br /><br /><p>Here are a few more images of the delightful little structure (via CRAB studio's <a href="http://www.crab-studio.com/art-university-bournemouth.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">website</a>):</p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/va/vag0zd3rwtq5g38u.jpg"></p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/iq/iq3m00xtv5vqvexn.jpg"></p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/qn/qn9bh3us0ge0k8m1.jpg"></p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/5w/5wttg0yk72h0rv1x.jpg"></p><p>Related news and feature stories on Archinect:</p><ul><li><a href="http://archinect.com/features/article/76359/conversation-with-peter-cook-on-the-state-of-things" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Conversation with Peter Cook on the State of Things</a></li><li><a href="http://archinect.com/news/article/136185375/in-new-exhibition-sir-peter-cook-reflects-on-architecture-s-possibilities" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">In new exhibition, Sir Peter Cook reflects on architecture's possibilities</a></li><li><a href="http://archinect.com/news/article/93081255/extraordinarily-beautiful-architectural-drawings-from-the-world-s-greatest-architects" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Extraordinarily Beautiful Architectural Drawings From the World's Greatest Architects</a></li></ul>
