Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. First Edition. Daab, 2007. First Edition according to publisher's press release. Multilingual, English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian. Hard cover, 237 pp. From publisher's press release: "SCIENCE SPACES ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN presents the most spectacular creations in the field of science, research and education of contemporary architects amongst them famous names such as Ateliers Jean Nouvel, Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, Herzog & Meuron and OMA. Their designs include research institutes, technology centers, laboratory buildings, as well as large libraries and university buildings that have been commissioned with a focus upon aesthetic quality, and at large expense. Documented with plenty of concepts, these buildings are far from being bland functional buildings but represent science as something it really is: they are innovative in shape and colour, groundbreaking and sensational. In interior and exterior design, the represented architects often tie up to a building's function: At the new Institute of Cell and Molecular Science in London for example, there are four cell body like fixtures that are used as meeting, conference and lecture rooms. The shape of the National Space Centre in Leicester immediately reminds one of a space ship. The Stata Center for Computer, Information and Intelligence Sciences in Cambridge, USA, designed by Frank O. Gehry Partners, also has a complex and dynamic exterior to represent information technology. Communication and transparency are important factors when designing such buildings. Generous forums often reminding one of the classic atrium not only demonstrate a bond to tradition, but also the progress of science and the window to other disciplines and to society: its flexibility and ability to develop. Aesthetic appealing solutions have to be found even for extreme climatic demands and for specialist equipment such as that used in laboratories moveable walls, lamellae systems and similar elements open a wide range of variations. This way these buildings fulfill their function even within details that have been created by using original styles." New in publishers shrink wrap.…
