Designs for a new public artwork, to be located at the Bonn Square entrance of the new Westgate Oxford, due to open in autumn 2017, have been revealed by the Westgate Oxford Alliance.
The proposed glass ‘Lantern’ would be built on the north-west brick tower of Building 4, which will house the County Library and a new retail arcade, facing Bonn Square. The Lantern will bring an elegant yet minimal contemporary local landmark to the city, which will be sensitively and elegantly integrated within the existing Oxford roofscape, acting as a way-finder for residents and visitors alike.
