Peter Cook: Wonder Hub

The project, designed by British architect Sir Peter Cook, invites students across all disciplines, university staff, researchers, architects, and the public to engage with the creative possibilities of ‘wonder’ as an important aspect of human nature.

Incorporating an enveloping three-dimensional structure of life size digital renderings, digital prints, and an ongoing rotation of drawings and data, the Peter Cook: Wonder Hub will also act as a broadcasting studio from which seminars and experiments will be networked internationally. It reflects the University’s commitment to furthering the role of research-led practice through collaboration, creative expression, and experimentation.

Throughout the 2025-26 academic year, the Peter Cook: Wonder Hub will act as a catalyst for symposia, talks, and workshops, serving as a hotspot for visiting architects, architectural drawing makers, designers, artists, and theorists.

The Peter Cook: Wonder Hub is designed by the Peter Cook Studio and has been developed with the support of Hahnemühle, CF Smith, and Brewers Decorator Centre.
