Research and Technology Buildings
A handbook on planning and designing architecture for research and technology, with 70 up-to-date international case studies of built works by architects such as Foster and Partners, Nicholas Grimshaw, Herzog & de Meuron, Sauerbruch Hutton, and Nicholas Grimshaw.
The Work of Cepezed
In the past few decades, cepezed has gained renown with transparent, sustainable and technologically progressive architecture that is remarkably usable and humane. Unaffected design, sober but stylish materialization, and careful finishing are just as characteristic of Cepezed's oeuvre as the integration of spatial and construction-technical aspects. The design and building processes at cepezed are also integrated: the use of prefab components and the application of industrial building methods guarantee an optimum alignment of design and realization, in which time, quality, and costs are meticulously planned and controlled. Prototypes documents a large number of key projects and deals extens...
New Laboratories
New laboratory buildings are currently being planned all around the world. Are they different from or even better than their predecessors? To answer this question, the authors of this book have journeyed into the past and present of laboratory architecture. They discuss the images of the research scientist and the laboratory that have been purveyed since the natural sciences were institutionalised in the nineteenth century. They also examine contemporary architectural solutions in the light of influential laboratory architectures of the latter half of the twentieth century, thereby discovering a great variety of approaches, historical and contemporary - for both the functional interrelation of spaces and the tension between symbolic façades and internal structures can take very different forms.
Research and Technology Buildings
The significance of research and technology in today’s economies is undisputed and continues to grow. Designing buildings to accommodate a range of functions, from laboratory experiments through prototype development to presentation and marketing is an architectural field of great potential. Commissioned by universities, public institutes and private companies, the challenge is to reconcile security and accessibility, laboratories equipped with sensitive, state-ofthe-art instruments and facilities for theoretical research. Zoning, circulation and functional requirements, as well as the historical development and contemporary context of research building, are covered in the opening systematic chapters of this Design Manual. Following this some 70 built projects, largely from Europe, the USA and Asia, are analysed according to a variety of aspects such as urban integration and communications infrastructure. The authors, both from the internationally renowned Max Planck Society, and contributors draw on their own substantial practical expe rience of planning and building research facilities.
Denkorte
Die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft ist heute die renommierteste deutsche Organisation fur Grundlagenforschung. Ihre Geschichte ist ebenso glanzvoll wie problematisch, denn sie trat 1948 das Erbe der Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft von 1911 an. Mit ihr blickt sie einerseits auf Nobelpreistrager wie Albert Einstein, Max Planck und Otto Hahn zuruck, andererseits auf ein bedruckendes Erbe, denn Wissenschaftler der Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft kooperierten auch mit dem NS-System. Der Band reflektiert zum 100. Grundungsjahr der Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft die Geschichte beider Einrichtungen in Fotografien, Essays und Interviews. Er erzahlt mit Blick auf bestehende oder aufgegebene Bauten, in denen Forschung gemacht wurde und wird, und auf die Menschen in ihnen ein herausragendes Kapitel der jungeren Wissenschaftsgeschichte. Darin haben nicht nur naturwissenschaftliche Entdeckungen wie die Kernspaltung von 1938 ihren Platz, sondern auch so bedeutende geistesgeschichtliche Orte wie die 1913 eroffnete Bibliotheca Hertziana fur Kunstgeschichte in Rom
