Norwich University of the Arts is delighted to invite you to the launch of the Peter Cook: Wonder Hub at Bank Plain, presenting Sir Peter Cook’s drawings in a new immersive format that combines digital and physical installations.
The project 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.
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.
