Description
Science Spaces like research institutes, libraries, laboratories and university facilities are nowadays not just functional buildings,but contemporary architecture of high standards. Increasingly often academic departments and institutes are open to the public and hence havemoreof aperceived need for stylish and user-friendly design and architecture. This poses a great challenge for architects and designers as high technology has to be combined with design.
This book offers documentation of 39 new and recent libraries, science centres and campuses, showing the aesthetic and creative solutions that have been found to the above dilemma. Library buildings are decorated with ornamental patterns of writing symbols, colour schemes resemble a genetic pattern and buildings are shaped in an organic way. Featured structures include Grimshaw's bubbly and friendly National Space Centre in Leicester, Snohetta's alphabet-engraved Bibliotheca Alexandrina, UNStudio'ssolution to a demanding brief for the Neomagnetic Resonance Laboratory in Utrecht and much more.
