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

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
