The Swiss firm Herzog & de Meuron has been tapped for a new building on the Oxford University campus in England: the £30M ($45.8M) Blavatnik School of Government "will appear as stack of discs decreasing in size, unevenly aligned to create overhangs and terraces," according to Dezeen. Nearby, Zaha Hadid's snakelike, futuristic Middle East Centre, which broke ground in January, slithers on. [Dezeen; previously]
