More Precedents

First off, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park visitors centre by Fielden Clegg. Not one of their greatest hits by any means, but it has a central atrium running the length of the building with different areas of accomodation within different clad spaces - timber, stone and render. The underground gallery uses exposed concrete soffits. It has some rather tasty finishes which are contemporary and natural without being too rustic, and it also has an brdige link to an existing cottage (which houses the admin) - all relevant pointers on my design.







Castleford - the much publicised bridge link across the weir. I'm not sure how successul it is as a single entity and requires further development as part of a masterplan. However, it is useful as an example of contemporary design and investment in the West Yorkshire area. This precedent is useful as there is the possibility of bridge links on my design.
