Favourite (interior)architecture project
St. Catherine’s College in Oxford (Arne Jacobsen, 1962) made a lasting impression when I visited for a week-long conference. Jacobsen managed to give a contemporary form to a traditional, even antiquated, typology. Furthermore, the place does not simply work as a college campus, but it offers highly tactile space(s) in which to wander.
