| Abstract | The project of the Open Learning Institute was won by the Percy Thomas Partnership (PTP) in March 1993 in a limited competition that invited participants to build upon a scheme already outlined by the Architectural Services Department. PTP suggested ways to refine this scheme and also proposed one of their own that was designed to optimise the full potential of the site. In this proposal PTP adopted a 'model departments' strategy which, in circumstances of a tight budget and in the absence of a detailed brief, allows architects to develop actual layouts at a later date. The client resolved upon the proposal forwarded by PTP which maximises the site potential. This article introduces the design of the institute in detail. |
