Summary
| Description |
st. catherine's college, oxford, england 1959-1964. architect: arne jacobsen, 1902-1971. the architecture of st. catherine's is not as simple as the plans suggest. some of the formal games played here are extreme. look at those cantilevered beams, the section must have a 10:1 ratio. I don't recall ever seeing that outside fehn's idiosyncratic venice pavilion. and the louvres of the auditorium building, suspended from the roofline like kyoto sudare mats. the impossibly slender concrete columns here form the bottom part of a campanile. how do you even begin to classify a building combining such elements? |
