In large industry structures, the construction of the industrial building is based on logistic, distribution and volumetric requirements determined by the production. It is one of the few building types whose value is measured more in terms of equipment assets than how it performs as social infrastructure.

Scott Tallon Walker architects have won the competition to create the UK’s first Innovation Centre focused on 5G networking based at the University of Surrey. This is possibly the first such facility in the world and will house the UK’s largest academic research centre for mobile communications with 130 researchers and around 90 PhD students. The project has been given an urgent status and is being undertaken immediately. It’s expected that it will be completed well before the end of next year.

The Champenoux site in the Lorraine region is one of the five sites of the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (National Agronomic Research Institute) in France. Located in the immense forest of Amance, it has added a new laboratories and offices building on the existing site. These high-level technical research centres host French and foreign researchers who work together to study the ecology and genomics of forests. Due to its history and its geographical position, the INRA centre in Nancy has always been largely devoted to the study of the forest and its products (of which timber is the most important). Five hundred people study subjects from the genome to the territory, including the functioning of trees and of ecosystems, as well as the forestry economy and the production of biomass.

Henning Larsen Architects, COBE and SLA have won the international design competition for the European Spallation Source (ESS), in Lund, Sweden. ESS will become the world’s largest and most advanced facility for neutron-based research. The team also includes the engineering comapnies Buro Happold, NNE Pharmaplan and Transsolar.
“Researchers will travel to Lund from every corner of the world. At ESS, they will become part of a global research community. They will require space for concentrated work, but they will also need places where they can meet other researchers”, says Jacob Kurek, Partner and Architect, Henning Larsen Architects. “In the atriums found in the buildings, they will be able to meet each other informally, inspire each other, exchange ideas and share their knowledge.”

The concept for the BIO Campus—a huge site just outside Istanbul that is becoming one of the world’s leading scientific research centers—had a holistic approach from the very start. The Austrian architects, AllesWirdGut, who recently received the “European Green Building Award 2012″, worked together with the German climate engineering experts Transsolar and the Dutch-born urban planning avant-gardist Ton Matton to develop an outstanding architectural and environmental project. The main idea is to create a self-sufficient and self-supporting accumulation of living spaces for work, scientific research, everyday life and recreational activities.

Primarily we aimed to create the Architectural Order like Cloud Computing.
An architecture which can transform own spaces flexibly will apply to any requirement.
Aron is a company manufacturing plastic goods, for example pipes for building facilities, objects for elders care, some materials for other products and so on.The correct name of the company is “Aron Kasei”. Kasei means chemical manufacture in Japanese. This R&D center is expected to gather various functions from their old Laboratories, and to provide a place to create new ideas and to heighten their sensitivity with brainstorms.The site is located along Nagoya Bay where Japanese huge industries are gathering.
