The Quadrangle University College Cork, - Giclée Print.
"Explore the architectural wonder of the Quad buildings at UCC, which strikingly echo the Oxfordian style – perhaps a nod to my fondness for the classic 'Inspector Morse' series. This building, imbued with a distinct academic and historical charm, was built for Queen's College Cork around 1847, officially opening the doors in November 1849. Crafted from the renowned Cork limestone, known for its exceptionally light hue, this structure is a testament to the architectural prowess of Sir Thomas Deane (1782-1871) and Benjamin Woodward (1819-1861). Their Gothic Style mastery is not only evident here but also in their designs of two university museum buildings in Dublin and Oxford, further enhancing that quintessential Inspector Morse ambiance.
The term 'Quadrangle' aptly describes both the four-sided enclosed space and the encompassing buildings, capturing the essence of classical architectural design.
