Here’s another example of Grimshaw Architects incorporating an old building into a new one. I personally love buildings that do this because you get the best of both old and new architecture. The contrast is also really cool to see. In this specific design for the University College London Cancer Institute, they were tasked with designing a new research center for post-graduate students. What they came up with was an elegant, transparent building that “opens up what is often an opaque, private area of study,” – Grimshaw.global. I think this is a very clever design technique. My favorite piece of the structure is the glass-encased stairwell that separates the old building from the new.
