Architecture office Jestico + Whiles has completed an aluminium-clad educational facility at the University of Cambridge, England, featuring brightly coloured staircases and built-in furniture.
Following consultations with stakeholders from the university and the local neighbourhood, the architects created a design that intends to promote interaction between departments and engagement with the wider community.
The Hub’s exterior is clad in folded and perforated aluminium. According to the architects, the metal was designed to “appear as a veil and reflects the hues and colours of the surrounding landscape.”
Subtle reflections alter the building’s appearance throughout the day, while lighting incorporated into the facades glows through the cladding at night, transforming the Hub into a lantern-like beacon.
