Oxford Architecture
BLAVATNIK SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT

The building in the foreground is part of the Blavatnik School of Government in Oxford. In the background is part of the Andrew Wiles Building (Mathematical Institute). There is also some hoardings here that are hiding a building site where a massive development is underway. It will be 'The Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities' and I believe it should open in 2025. It looks like it will be a very photogenic building and, hopefully, I will still be here to take some photos :-)
There's a lot of glass here so for 'Sight & Sound' it will be "Glass Hearts by The Desert Rose Band.
Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

Clarendon Building, Oxford

The Clarendon Building designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor was built between 1711 and 1715. It was built to house the Oxford University Press. In 1829 the University police took over part of it as their police station with cells in the basement. It only became known as the Clarendon Building after it was adapted by the University for use as a registry in 1832. It continued as the university registry until the present University Offices were opened in Wellington Square in 1975. The Clarendon Building was then taken over by the Bodleian Library.
