New(er) buildings in Oxford

No doubt, it says something about me that, while in a city famed for its old buildings and monuments, my eyes have equally been drawn to newer structures, and how they are integrated, come to form points of contrast, respond to the past, and offer new interpretations of more traditional shapes, patterns and architectural legacies. 

I find the dialogue between modern and old styles as interesting and engaging as the styles themselves - especially here in Oxford, where concepts of inheritance and new knowledge are each so important in their own ways.

Well, and one of me in front of an old college.
