Peddle Thorp
#QUT Library
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA
Peddle Thorp and James Cubitt Architects engaged UAP to construct and install a decorative roof treatment for the Queensland University of Technology Library upgrade. Peddle Thorp and James Cubitt Architects developed a concept using the covers of old library books to adorn the ceiling.
UAP built and installed the
coloured canopy of book covers set within a mirror frame.
The result is an
infinite covering of multi coloured upturned books drawn from the university
collection.
