This project was for the relocation and construction of a new research & development center for Japanese pharmaceutical company Zenyaku Kogyo Co., Ltd., which celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2020.
In recent years, the research environment has become an increasingly diverse landscape, showing growth in collaborations with outside companies such as open labs, cooperative efforts with venture companies, and the outsourcing of research work. More than ever, higher performance and quality environments are required of labs, making it extremely important for research institutes to make connections beyond previous boundaries and with other researchers.
Mindful of this, an attempt here was made to convert the existing “closed/isolated” building type to a “closed lab open institute” type of structure. Although the term “open” is used rather loosely in the architecture industry, the conception held that it would carry great meaning pertinent to the building type of a laboratory.
Aquaphotomics is a field of science that investigates water spectral patterns as a source of holistic information for biological and aqueous systems. The Yunosato facility is an Aquaphotomics research laboratory where the interplay of water and light are explored.
The entry sequence is a transition from familiar rectilinear forms to more fluid and lofty curves that open up towards the view of Mount Koya, a world heritage temple settlement site and holy center of esoteric Buddhism in Japan.
Restructuring of housing complex as part of a mixed operation. Creation of a 55 housings’ residence for students and researchers, and a center of research.
Buildings located at 8 and 10 rue de Charles V, were built respectively in 1938 and during the 17th century. These were gathered in the aim of hosting the reopening of the Center of Research and Interdisciplinarity (CRI).
10 Design appointed to lead on the design of Shenzhen Pengcheng Laboratory in China
10 Design has been appointed to realise the design vision of the Shenzhen Government for phase one of the city’s forthcoming flagship scientific research facility, the Shenzhen Pengcheng laboratory. The practice won the project following a national public tender process held by the Shenzhen Government and Pengcheng Laboratory.
Flores & Prats + Ouest Architecture win the competition to renovate the Ancien Théâtre des Variétés in Brussels, Belgium, converting it into an International Laboratory for Artistic Creation conceived as an open, inclusive public space.
Naturalis is the national research institute for biodiversity dating from 1820 which was founded by King Willem I in Leiden, The Netherlands. The institute with a long and rich history experienced an exponential growth in the last decade which led to an urgent necessity to renovate. The number of visitors increased rapidly to 400.000 per year. The new future proof Naturalis brings the growing collection of 42 million objects together (top five in the world). Its new state of the art facilities accommodate more than two hundred researchers whose studies are at the center of attention, contributing solutions to global issues including climate change, the decline of biodiversity on earth, food supply and water quality. The Naturalis facilities and the collection enable to contribute solutions at the highest level. At the same time the new museum offers the chance to show the public the wealth and beauty of nature.

With pressure of environment and change of temperature, the substance can be transformed into different states: static solid state, fluent liquid state and gaseous state which is both static and fluent. This is not the opening remark of a physics class. It is the start of design of a brand-new office of Jing He Science, a technology company which sells high-tech gas.
“Cepario” is a space dedicated to the meticulous growth of bacteria in Ecuador. The futuristic design features a curved cantilevered hub that overlooks an open laboratory space. From the top, viewers and employees can oversee the processes and research happening underneath at the large area at a human scale. However, when looking into the microscopes, they can see the intricate, miniature life of the bacteria being studied at a microscopic level. The change in scales from the human to the bacterial is further emphasized in the extensive spaces contrasting the nature of the work.
In 2010, Wiegerinck won a design competition organised by what was then known as VUmc. Entrants were invited to formulate their vision for a building where all activities associated with medical imaging techniques, a laboratory for scientific research and a production facility for medical isotopes and tracers would be brought together at one location: the new Imaging Center.
