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&rsquo;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>
