Arts University Bournemouth drawing studio
Dame Zaha Hadid will open a new drawing studio at Arts University Bournemouth for students studying graphic design, animation, architecture and other subjects to draw.
The new studio will be opened on 3 March and has been designed by architect, AUB alumnus and honorary fellow, Professor Sir Peter Cook.
It is the first purpose-built drawing studio to be constructed at an art school for more than a century and has been designed to reflect the central theme of light in the tradition of looking and drawing.
There is a large north-light in the studio tradition, a rear clerestory that throws a softer light back from the rear wall, as well as softer lighting from the east and a graded wash of light that comes along the curve of the entrance.
