Barber Casanovas Ruffles Ltd
Arts Faculties Campus, University of Cambridge - Sidgwick Site
1959-61
Casson, Conder & Partners
Floating O-plan building above podium, homage to Le Corbusier. The latter
is paved with a traditional grass court within, thus Modernism fuses with
traditional Cambridge college design. The scale of the blocks and the
columns is massive, detailing clean and materials still working many years
on.

Institute of Criminology Building, University of Cambridge - Sidgwick
Site
2005
Allies & Morrison
A clean-cut building in a simpler and fresher style than typical Allies
& Morrison buildings (such as the small brick buildings by them a
little to the south) with windows turning the corner and the cantilevered
stone box for example. Crisp detailing and strong modelling makes this
an interesting and valuable addition to the Sidgwick site, which can seem
a bit dead in places.
Darwin
College, Extension, off Silver St - The Backs
1993-94
Dixon Jones Architects
Downing
College - Wilkins buildings, Regent St

Van Heyningen & Haward, Architects
Sensitive melding of old and new
Faculty of Divinity Building, University of Cambridge - Sidgwick
Site
2000
Edward Cullinan Architects
Unlike Ted Cullinan's St John's College Library this building feels a
bit flimsy. Costing £8m and a winner of a RIBA Award the style is
lightweight and softly innovative with plenty of layering from brise soleil
and a light palette

Allies & Morrison, Architects

James Stirling, Architect
Controversial modern Cambridge building that had problems with overheating,
leaks, falling tiles, etc. James Stirling had entered two architecture
competitions in Cambridge with no joy, at Churchill College (1958) and
Selwyn College (1959).

Kaetsu Educational and Cultural Centre Building, Huntingdon Road

Austin-Smith:Lord, Architects
Crisp white-rendered building on Huntingdon Road between Fitzwilliam and
New Hall Colleges. In the form of a drum the entry slices through the
solid revealing a glass cube in concept
Kettles Yard
1957-
various architects
Kettles Yard
King's College Chapel
Built between 1446 and 1515, amazing fan vaulting, arguably the most important
building in Cambridge
Laslett House, Clarkson Road
1957-59
Trevord Dannatt, Architect
Stunning house using first floor wraparound though one could argue the
wraparound suggests a floating volume in true Modernist superstyle and
when revealed to have a slightly recessed lump of solid below is a disappointment.
The result is a piece of humble English modern architecture which fits
perfectly into Cambridge, certainly not flamboyant
Launcelot Fleming House, Huntingdon Road
1993
MacCormac Jamieson Prichard Architects
For Trinity Hall
Law Library, Cambridge University, Sidgwick Campus, 10 West Rd
1995
Foster & Partners
Nicknamed the 'Bread Bin' by Cambridge students this rather stark Foster
building contains the 'relocated' Squire Law library with generous atrium,
five auditoria and offices. Some users of the building initially complained
about acoustics and many find the south facade (for one) overbearing and
alienating. The Norman Foster library squares up to (with its point) the
James Stirling library to the west: these are two buildings that are quite
egotistical; one gets the feeling this building could have been anywhere
