Description:


In 1934 Sir Giles Gilbert Scott began work on designs for a substantial new library building opposite the Old Bodleian Library site in Broad Street, Oxford in order to provide much-needed space for the growing numbers of books housed in the library and the number of readers using them. Opened in 1946 (having been delayed by the Second World War), for seventy years the New Bodleian served the academic community and readers visiting Oxford, housing 3.5 million items. Scott's innovative designs meant that the New Bodleian became a Grade II-listed building in 2003.

In 2009, thanks to a generous bequest from the Garfield Weston Foundation, plans got underway for a complete refurbishment of the building to meet the needs of twenty-first-century research and the Bodleian's expanding collections. The architects Wilkinson Eyre were appointed to develop the project adapting the Grade II listed building for its new use as a special collections library while keeping the facade intact. Their brief was to redesign reading rooms for the consultation of rare books, manuscripts, archives, music and maps, provide new research facilities (including support for digital scholarship), new teaching facilities, improved conservation laboratories, state-of-the-art storage for Bodleian Libraries' valuable special collections and enhanced public access through a new entrance hall and exhibition space.

This book tells the story of how the vision for the Weston Library was realized. Like the project itself, it represents a collaboration between clients and consultants as they place the project in context, describing in detail the many architectural, academic

Pretty comforter set
Size: King, Color: Beige
I like how soft and comfortable this comforter set feels. It’s lightweight, so it works well for summer or if you don’t want something heavy. The color looks clean and matches my room nicely. Everything fit the bed the way it should, and the fabric feels smooth. It’s a nice set for everyday use.

Beautiful and Comfortable Bedding Set
Size: Queen, Color: Beige
I really love this comforter set. The material feels soft and comfortable, and it made my bed look elegant and cozy. The color is beautiful and the pieces fit perfectly on my queen bed. It was easy to set up and it instantly made my room look more organized and stylish. For the price, I think it’s a great value because you get several pieces in one set. I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants their bedroom to look nice and comfortable.

La calidad
Size: Queen, Color: Beige
I bought this blanket set and it honestly exceeded all my expectations. It is beautiful, with an elegant design that gives a special touch to the room. But it is not only beautiful, it is also incredibly soft and comfortable, perfect for resting after a long day. The quality is felt from the first moment, and it shelters just enough to feel welcomed without being heavy. Since I have it, sleeping feels much more pleasant. Without a doubt, I recommend it with my eyes closed. It's a purchase that is totally worth it 💖✨

So cute! Not sure if it will hold up though
Size: Queen, Color: Baby Pink, Size: Queen, Color: Baby Pink
This comforter set is so cute! I love how vibrant the pink is. It is also super duper soft. The quality is okay though. There's a lot of random threads coming out, so I honestly don't know how long it will hold up after multiple washes. There's no weight to it either. It's just soft and fluffy which I love. The size is true to size too. It's a real queen size. I love the fact that the fancy pillowcase has pockets. I absolutely adore this style because it keeps your pillow inside at all times. The regular pillowcase is just the normal. No pockets or anything like that. You can see how vibrant this comforter set by comparing it to my weighted blanket that I have underneath it. It's a super vibrant pastel pink, and I love it! I've also been sleeping like a baby ever since I used this set. The comforter set is really so fluffy and soft that it feels like a marshmallow. Since I also pair it with my weighted blanket, it's seriously a dream come true. Overall, I'd recommend this. I just don't know how long it will last after multiple washes.
