Traditional Cambridge College Buildings - design by Dixon Jones Architects

Darwin College Extension off Silver St - The Backs 1993-94 Design: Dixon Jones Architects photo © Adrian Welch Darwin College Library: View above from Laundress Green on The Backs Darwin College Cambridge Sweet little building perched on the edge of the Cam. The wood looks a bit weary (note gradation from grey below to original richness above) and seems discordant with context but works well with the rich beige brickwork. The balconies and stairs hanging off the facade are quaint to some and fiddly for others but a welcome antidote to much of the recent macho and monumental college architecture. The immediate relationship with the water is superb, feeling more Italian than 'rules & regulation' English.
