An innovative new building, by architects
Hawkins\Brown, uniquely situated at the nexus
of art, architecture and science, rises on
Oxford s hallowed grounds. Few contemporary buildings demonstrate the purpose of their
existence as effectively as Hawkins\Brown s newest project.
Built to bring together lecturers, researchers and students
previously based in separate buildings across Oxford s
campus, the building s glass and steel exterior literally reveals
the cutting-edge work being done in its interior challenging
the notion that laboratory walls should be opaque and
secretive. The building includes an ambitious art project, Salt
Bridges, which combines chemistry and design to illustrate the
chaos and coincidence that so often shape scientific discovery.
This volume features a fascinating critical introduction to the
project, photographs of plans and models, contributions from
the builder on the construction process, and conversations
between architects, artists and scientists at the heart of the
building s conception. The story of a collaboration between
seemingly disparate disciplines makes this monograph
particularly appealing to those interested in the relationship
between art, architecture, and science.
