Book Synopsis The Sainsbury Laboratory by : Stephen Day
Download or read book The Sainsbury Laboratory written by Stephen Day and published by Artifice Incorporated. This book was released on 2011 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on the building of the new Sainsbury Laboratory in Cambridge's Botanic Garden which opens late 2011. The Laboratory will be the leading international center for the study of plant science, which is enabled by the bequest of the Sainsbury family/institution. The book is split into 3 sections; science, architecture and art. The science refers to the scientific practice of the laboratory, the architecture refers to the cutting edge building and the art to profiled artists who are involved in the project, Norman Ackroyd, Susanna Heron and William Pye. The Botanic Garden first opened in Cambridge in 1762, and shortly after Professor John Stevens Henslow undertook his studies into plants, and planted trees to use as teaching aids ? amongst his students was Charles Darwin. Henslow's teachings in Cambridge are thought to be the inspiration on which Darwin set out his own thinking. Henslow's plant specimens will be housed in the Herbarium, which as an important room in the laboratory houses the collection of over one million plant specimens from all over the world and throughout the history of scientific plant study. The book discusses the architecture of the million-dollar project designed and built by Stanton Williams Architects. This section also covers contemporary architectural approaches to scientific and research architecture, the contrast between the scientific and aesthetic resource of the garden and increasing emphasis on sustainability, public accessibility and recreation. The art section of the book focuses on the three artists who have been specially commissioned to provide installations at the centre, Norman Ackroyd, Susanna Heron and William Pye. Royal Academician Norman Ackroyd is interviewed regarding his one-off large-scale etching on steel. Susanna Heron discusses the relationship between art and science and re-interprets hundreds of plant samples from an artist's point of view and an interview with William Pye discusses the nature of his work in relation to the project.

Book Synopsis The Architecture of Industry by : Mathew Aitchison
Download or read book The Architecture of Industry written by Mathew Aitchison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Rust Belt to Silicon Valley, the intersection between architecture and industry has provided a rich and evolving source for historians of architecture. In a historical context, industrial architecture evokes the smoking factories of the nineteenth century or Fordist production complexes of the twentieth century. This book documents the changing nature of industrial building and planning from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Drawing on research from the United States, Europe and Australia, this collection of essays highlights key moments in industrial architecture and planning representative of the wider paradigms in the field. Areas of analysis include industrial production, factories, hydroelectricity, aerospace, logistics, finance, scientific research and mining. The selected case studies serve to highlight architectural and planning innovations in industry and their contributions to wider cultural and societal currents. This richly illustrated collection will be of interest for a wide range of built environment studies, incorporating findings from both historical and theoretical scholarship and design research.
Download or read book LabOratory written by Sandra Kaji-O'Grady and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated examination of laboratory architecture and the work that it does to engage the public, recruit scientists, and attract funding. The laboratory building is as significant to the twenty-first century as the cathedral was to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The contemporary science laboratory is built at the grand scales of cathedrals and constitutes as significant an architectural statement. The laboratory is a serious investment in architectural expression in an attempt to persuade us of the value of the science that goes on inside. In this lavishly illustrated book, Sandra Kaji-O'Grady and Chris L. Smith explore the architecture of modern life science laboratories, and the work that it does to engage the public, recruit scientists, and attract funding. Looking at the varied designs of eleven important laboratories in North America, Europe, and Australia, all built between 2005 and 2019, Kaji-O'Grady and Smith examine the relationship between the design of contemporary laboratory buildings and the ideas and ideologies of science. Observing that every laboratory architect and client declares the same three aspirations—to eliminate boundaries, to communicate the benefits of its research programs, and to foster collaboration—Kaji-O'Grady and Smith organize their account according to the themes of boundaries, expression, and socialization. For instance, they point to the South Australian Health and Medical Institute's translucent envelope as the material equivalent of institutional accountability; the insistent animal imagery of the NavarraBioMed laboratory in Spain; and the Hillside Research Campus's mimicry of the picturesque fishing village that once occupied its site. Through these and their other examples, Kaji-O'Grady and Smith show how the architecture of the laboratory shapes the science that takes place within it.

Book Synopsis A Better World is Possible by : Georgina Ferry
Download or read book A Better World is Possible written by Georgina Ferry and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 17 March 1967, the 26-year-old David Sainsbury wrote out a cheque for £5 and established the trust which would become the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. Gatsby's purpose was ambitious: to make the world a better place by taking on some of the social, economic and scientific challenges that face humanity. In recent years, Gatsby has spent around £50m annually on charitable activities, and by its 50th anniversary in 2017 it will have spent over £1bn on programmes that range from reducing poverty in Africa to raising the standard of technical education, investigating how plants fight disease, and finding out how the brain works. But despite Gatsby's wide reach and the level of its donations, it has always functioned discreetly and out of the public eye. Georgina Ferry's in-depth account reveals its achievements and invites us to question how the super-rich - and even the moderately affluent - might spend their money more wisely and for the common good.

Book Synopsis Comparative Issues in the Governance of Research Biobanks by : Giovanni Pascuzzi
Download or read book Comparative Issues in the Governance of Research Biobanks written by Giovanni Pascuzzi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few years, the boom in biobanking has prompted a lively debate on a host of interrelated legal issues, such as the Gordian knot of the ownership of biological materials, as well as privacy concerns. The latter are due to the difficulty of accepting that biological samples must be completely anonymous without making it practically impossible to exploit their information potential. The issues also include the delicate role and the changing content of the donor’s “informed consent” as the main legal tool that may serve to link the privacy and property interests of donors with the research interests and the set of principles that should be at the core of the biobanking practice. Lastly, the IP issues and the patentability of biological samples as well as the protection of databases storing genetic information obtained from the samples are covered. Collecting eighteen essays written by eminent scholars from Italy, the US, the UK and Canada, this book provides new solutions to these problems. From a comparative viewpoint, it explores the extent to which digital technology may assist in tackling the numerous regulatory issues raised by the practice of biobanking for research purposes. These issues may be considered and analyzed under the traditional paradigms of Property, Privacy, Informed Consent and Intellectual Property.
