Richard Murphy Architects
Richard Murphy Architects to develop proposals before a formal appointment
is made.
Outline by RMA: "The project is for, in a first phase, a 290 seat
music auditorium, foyer, practice rooms, etc and a 70-bed boutique hotel.
A second phase indicates a sports hall/studio theatre and third phase
a Research Institute. For the time being the College has asked us not
to publish the drawings.
The competition was submitted and presented in the Spring of this year
but the decision has only recently been made. It represents a very major
development for the practice. Oxford and Cambridge Colleges have collected
a remarkable cross section of the best of UK and foreign architecture,
but the last Scottish practice to build anything there was the Glaswegian
practice of Gillespie Kidd and Coia with their competition winning proposal
for Robinson
College Cambridge won in 1974 and completed in 1980. It is not only
an immense privilege to be working in such a place but also to keep such
illustrious company. Images will be published as soon as the College permits."
