Brief Overview:
Central Hall is a multi-purpose performance and lecture building at the University of York. Its striking concrete and glass structure, surrounded by water, was designed to create a central gathering point for the university’s new campus in Heslington. The building’s geometry, acoustics, and setting have made it one of the most celebrated works of post-war academic architecture in the UK.

Central Hall, University of York

The Central Hall miniature concrete model is made for everyone who graduated, sat exams or saw a concert inside the University of York's lakeside hall. Andrew Derbyshire of RMJM designed it in 1967. Its angular concrete and glass form rises from the water at Heslington like a spaceship that has settled on campus, and it's now Grade II listed. This concrete model of Central Hall captures its tiered, fan-shaped profile at 8cm, a small architectural sculpture for a desk, shelf or study. It's for York alumni, staff and students, architects who admire post-war campus planning, and lovers of Brutalist architecture, and it makes an ideal graduation gift. Hand-cast in solid concrete, it has real weight, and every one is slightly different.
