Material Composition of the Civic Collection

A collection of cellular study spaces for use by visiting scholars to the University of Birmingham. Influenced by the works of Dom Hans van der Laan’s religious architecture, using material composition to form a juxtaposition between the wilderness and the enclosed garden, to create varying atmospheric spaces for contemplation.

The project explores current and future civic roles of the University and the obligation to provide socially distanced study in the Covid-19 era. As a temporary requirement by the university, the material composition of the cell is intended to erode away and collected for re-use in future civic developments.
