Story: Known as the Ben Pimlott Building and designed by Alsop and Partners, the designers behind the award-winning Peckham Library. The Goldsmiths University Art Complex opened its doors to students on January 10, 2005 and contains Visual Arts studios, Digital Studios and the Centre for Cognition, Culture and Computation, a unique new research unit. The roof terrace is wrapped in a nine-meter high steel ‘scribble’ that forms the eye-catching signature to the building and is highly visible on the south London skyline. The scribble was developed in 3D as part of an accurate CAD model from a series of repeated fabricated steel units. The sculpture is constructed from 229 separate pieces of steel, of which 131 were assembled on site.
What a fabulous design this university shares with the world. However, I think they could create a more colorful design, I don't know, something a few more futurist, don't you think?
