The Warburg Renaissance: Rebuilding the Institute
The Warburg Renaissance: Rebuilding the Institute by Tim Anstey, Bill Sherman and Dan Tassel (eds.) traces the story of the major renovation made to the 1958 Warburg Institute on Woburn Square in London, completed as the Warburg Renaissance Project, 2018–2024. This was to be the fifth in a series of architectural reconfigurations of the institute established by Aby Warburg since the creation of its first home, the Kunstwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg (KBW), in Hamburg in 1926. The Warburg Renaissance was to emulate the collaboration between architect and institute, and the alliance of architectural and intellectual organisation, that characterised the series of buildings. The project was commissioned by the University of London and the Warburg Institute with design by Haworth Tompkins Architects.
