Clocktower Square, Radley College Design Engine

摘要

Radley College, in the countryside near Oxford, is one of those ultra-English bastions of privilege, or centres of excellence if you prefer - only slightly less well known perhaps than Eton, Harrow or Westminster. The college dates back to 1847 when it took over a Georgian country house and started to build well-considered additions, all red brick with stone dressings. Now the removal of a redundant prefab building in Clocktower Square has freed up space for a new insertion by Winchester-based Design Engine, which was behind the radical replanning of Oxford Brookes University (RIBAJ, November 2012).
