::  University of Warwick 鈥� Faculty of Arts, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios (West Midlands)

Impressive new building brings together the departments and schools of the arts faculty under a single roof for the first time. The new building draws inspiration from the site鈥檚 parkland context. Four pavilion buildings are connected by a feature staircase, inspired by the structure of a tree, that organically grows through the central atrium space, each branch helping to demarcate various communal spaces to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration. At the base of the stair, it splays to form an amphitheatre that activates the ground floor and addresses the main entrance.
