The Beehive Centre Commission - Cambridge

In 2005 I was offered a commission for the Beehive Centre in Cambridge by Kate Sweeney of Perspective: Art in Architecture, on behalf of British Land Company PLC. In response to the brief, I used the award winning Multi York building, adjacent to the entrance, as a point of reference. I was particularly inspired by the architectural illusion of suspension and tension in the building. I worked through a series of concept sketches and proposed a circular structure made of glass and corten steel, patinated to emulate copper.
