Gretchen Hollrah – Blog 5 – Ogden Center for Fundamental Physics at Durham University by Daniel Liebskind

This building was designed by architect Daniel Libeskind and the project was completed in 2016. Durham University was looking to house a new research facility for the study of fundamental physics and commissioned Libeskind to create it. The building is very interesting to look at, you can see it allows for natural light in very interesting ways besides just lining up rows of windows. The program particularly wanted smaller workspaces for research, which are all located along the exterior of the building so that each room gets an adequate amount of natural light. The exterior of the building is my favorite, it almost looks as if two structures are placed kind of on top/inside of each other.
