Cambridge University Library Landscape Competition
© Wallonie-Bruxelles Architectures A landscape design competition to transform the space surrounding Cambridge University Library has been launched. The competition, jointly run by the University Library and the Department of Architecture, is open to professionals and non-professionals alike and is looking for bold submissions that reimagine the open spaces and environment of the iconic Giles Gilbert Scott building.
Entries to the competition will be judged on their innovative interpretation of the site, its context, use and history – as well as their ability to integrate contemporary ecological research.
The competition will run a series of events and workshops hosted by the Department of Architecture. This will bring together cross-disciplinary groups from within the university and stimulate and capture ideas from primary, secondary and sixth-form colleges in Cambridge.
The next stage will see fully registered participants produce proposals for the development of the landscape surrounding the University Library from which a shortlist of ten will be selected.Finally, the ten shortlisted designers will team up with ten Cambridge academics to advance the detail of their design; the results of which will be exhibited and published as a book containing the final proposals and a critical academic response to each.
