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.
