Last year the firm Feilden
Clegg Bradley received four Building
Design Architect of the Year Awards: public housing, private
housing, arts/culture building, and best overall. The first
category would definitely have gone to them for their Westfield
Student Village, a grouping of student residences at Queen
Mary, University of London. Six buildings in the northeast
corner of the Mile End campus house 2,000 students in half
as many rooms ensuite. Besides providing suitable accommodations
for students, staff and academic visitors, the architects
concentrated on the context and the space
in-between the buildings to create a well-scaled village.
